At the SSPH+ Lugano Summer School public health professionals, researchers and graduate students learn together through mutual exchange in a stimulating and beautiful environment. The SSPH+ Lugano Summer School places health, disease, and health systems thinking under one common framework of coherent concepts and practical implications. The focus on public health policy, economics, management, and communication combined with the diversity of students (~120 from >30 countries each year) and facilitators has provided for a rich learning environment for over two decades so far. The education obtained and networks created serve as an opportunity to reduce and prevent the gap between public health theory and practice.

The SSPH+ Lugano Summer School is jointly organized by SSPH+, the Università della Svizzera italiana, and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) in Basel.

The support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) is key, enabling professionals from Eastern Europe, Africa, and other emerging and transition economies to participate and share their knowledge and skills required to manage health systems and health service.

In celebration of the 15th anniversary of the SSPH+, Monday evening will start with an apero while learning about the long history of Public Health in Ticino and the collaboration of SSPH+ with the Summer School in Public Health Policy, Management, and Economics. We will hear from multiple speakers, have much time for sharing and exchanging while we enjoy a light dinner together with a view of Lake Lugano.

Moderator: Prof. Luca Crivelli, Directorate SSPH+, Former Dean SSPH+ LSS; Prof. of Health Policy and Economics at SUPSI and USI
