The SSPH+ Lugano Summer School in Public Health Policy, Economics, and Management places health, disease, and health systems thinking under one common framework of coherent concepts and practical implications.
The education obtained and networks created serve as an opportunity to reduce and prevent the gap between public health theory and practice.
For over 30 years, we continue to address current public health challenges facing the world.
The perfect mix between academics, practitioners, policy makers, managers, field experts and researchers.
Former and current participants in our courses, plenary lectures, and networking events.
As Marcel Tanner so eloquently and convincingly reminded us of during his farewell lecture at the University of Basel, “No roots, No fruits”. The Summer School has deep roots and produced many fruits. Over its 30 years of training to date, the school has trained and shared experiences with participants from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas.
The Summer School focuses on Public Health Policy, Economics, and Management. The Programme aims to reduce the gap between public health theory and practice. The courses are intended for professionals and managers of health administrations, hospitals and other services and facilities within the health sector, policy-makers and students.
We offer an opportunity to meet new colleagues and peers, to exchange knowledge, build networks and share insights, all for the purpose of mutual learning for change.
The programme is jointly organized by the Swiss School of Public Health, the ICPP at USI, DEASS at SUPSI, and Swiss TPH.
