Travel to KU Leuven this summer to connect with doctoral researchers and staff from across Una Europa and beyond to broaden your knowledge of One Health and develop a more transdisciplinary mindset by learning the theory of systems thinking and its application.

This Summer School is open to doctoral researchers currently working towards their PhD at an Una Europa university. If you are an undergraduate or master's student, please see the Una Europa One Health Summer School - For undergraduate and master's students.

By the end of the General Summer School you will be able to:

  • Understand the One Health concept and its relevance
  • Learn the application of systems thinking in One Health
  • Work in multicultural and transdisciplinary teams to recognize the complex roots of One Health, including social, cultural, economic, demographic and more
  • Build a conceptual systems model of a One Health challenge, using real data
  • Work with qualitative and quantitative models to solve One Health problems with real data
  • Learn to communicate scientific results to different audiences

Please note: This programme is subject to change.

Who can apply? Am I eligible?

The One Health Summer School – Deep Dive welcomes applications from Una Europa’s doctoral researchers. This experience is designed for students from a wide range of disciplines and serves as an introduction to the One Health field with an in-depth focus on topics such as Systems Thinking.

If accepted, you will join a diverse group of students from our Una Europa partner institutions. Three students from each university of the Una Europa alliance will be selected to participate in the programme.

What is the cost of the programme?

A registration fee of €300 will be applied to all participants.

The estimated total cost for the Summer School is €600, including registration fee of €300. Applicants who are recognized as ‘staff’ at their home universities can apply for Erasmus+ Staff mobility funding for a training grant via their home university.

Please check your home university’s policy and procedures on doctoral and staff mobility (via the designated webpages) to check whether your mobility is eligible for Erasmus+ funding. For most staff members, funding of up to €280 is available. Contact the Una Europa Team at your university to find out to what extent you are eligible to receive financial support to cover (a part of) the cost of the programme. The estimated cost does include accommodation and food cost, but not travel costs.
