The course will provide insights on how these approaches can facilitate consensus among different stakeholders while also providing a platform for strengthening multisectoral collaboration across complex systems.
Day 1 of the summer school will be live streamed online. On that day, Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO/Europe Regional Director will participate in a panel discussion, followed by keynote presentations from distinguished speakers. Please use the attached link for registration.
The Systems Approaches to the Promotion of Healthy Lifestyles and Ageing summer school is designed for PhD students, early and mid-career professionals, including researchers and policy-makers, and postgraduate students working in the field of health with a particular focus on the prevention of noncommunicable diseases through the promotion of physical activity and healthy diets.
The school will support participants in:
- understanding systems thinking theory, techniques and tools;
- applying systems-based approaches to strengthen multisectoral collaboration across complex systems;
- identifying common patterns in complex systems and how to mitigate them to implement policies and strategies more successfully; and
- developing skills to transfer research into policy.
The training will take place from 18–20 July 2023 in Nice, France. The teaching language will be in English.
