In July 2022, with the support of VLIR-UOS, the Global Health Institute reunited our academic staff with Master of Epidemiology alumni in Tanga, Tanzania, for our very first Alumni Event (for Sub-Saharan African-based alumni). Four days of workshops and social activities accumulated in founding the SSA-based MEPI-Alumni Chapter.
This year we are hosting our next Alumni Event in Belgium! This event will be open to all European-based Master of Epidemiology alumni and will consist of expert talks and networking. The tentative agenda (as well as a list of speakers) can be found below.
