ICI Education Cooperation Program
Cooperation in higher education and training between the EU and Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea
Joint Mobility Project funded by the European Union and Australian Government
“AUS-EU phe- AUStralian-EUropean public health education”
This innovative joint mobility program takes a multilevel approach to developing capacity and resources for a global public health workforce. Through the exchange of students (40 EU/40 AUS) and staff (16 EU/16 AUS) and a comprehensive work and evaluation plan, an identified gap in global public health education is addressed. Student and faculty exchange will contribute to cultural understanding in the international context of the project, leading to a more comprehensive and inclusive global curriculum development process. Academic exchange and collaboration will facilitate broader and sustainable international university networks. This project will identify which elements of global public health – specifically in regard to human rights and social exclusion – are not addressed in existing public health education programs. Through international collaboration, three core international public health modules will be developed and evaluated as an outcome of this project; making a significant contribution to the global public health discipline and practice.
