European Public Health and Migrations

ended

EUPHAM module is highly specialized training course on EU public health in the era of increased global public health dangers and migration crisis. As patterns of migratory movement alter, the impacts on physical and mental well-being become great, both among the migrant community, but also the host/transit state. The effects which a migration crisis may have on local public health policies in the host or transit country are even greater in cases in which a specific state lacks integrated public health policies which are not aligned with EU standards. Countering such inconsistencies is a special challenge for the states of the Western Balkans where local health policies are not aligned with specific EU standards and strategies in the field of public health and health protection of migrants. Thus, the aim of EUPHAM module is to analyse the interplay between EU public health policies and global migration. With this project we aim to bring professional skills and theoretical knowledge in the area of Public health in connection to the migration processes that are very current, close to policies and organisational principles close to those in EU. Knowledge acquired in this training course will create possibilities for lifelong learning, improve education-research –innovation triangle, create international openness, allow students and overall academic and professional mobility, better data collection, stimulate the development of the multidimensional transparency tools and improve access to funding. With these projects we aim to contribute to the overall idea of lifelong learning and modernisation of current programs.
