Implementation Science in Global Health
What is the value of research, when knowledge and innovation do not find their way into clinical practice? In this short course, we will provide an entry level introduction to implementation science as an upcoming yet imperative scientific field. We will do so in the context of global health and health inequities, building on fundamental implementation science theory while learning from best-practice examples across the globe.

Survival Analysis
A one-week course in survival analysis for the life sciences. Concrete examples and case studies are used to apply the theory to practical situations. Survival data, or more generally, time-to-event data (where the 'event' can be death, disease, recovery, relapse or another outcome), is frequently encountered in the biomedical sciences. Censoring is a problem characteristic to most survival data, and requires special data analytic techniques.

ECTMIH Academy presents George Downward - An interactive introduction to Exposome Science
Our health is shaped by environmental factors that we humans are exposed to on a daily basis: what we eat, the air we breathe, our social interactions and lifestyle choices such as smoking and exercising. It explains an estimated 70% of the chronic disease burden. Since most aspects of our environment are modifiable, this provides a huge potential for disease prevention. Leading scientist have formalised the sum of all these environmental…
