About
Catalyzing high impact international collaborations for global health
​
The Global Health Catalyst (GHC) summit Europe, is a satellite GHC summit at the University of Heidelberg, Faculty Medical Center Mannheim. As with other summits the focus is on collaborations to reduce global health disparities. The yearly summits at one of the World's leading University in Germany resulted from seed-funding to catalyze global health collaborations involving Faculty from Harvard and Heidelberg Universities. Since 2018, the yearly summits have provide a platform to engage more partners in Europe more directly for global health
