Career Development Workshop Bammental

A three-day retreat was held from September 13-15 in Bammental, a tranquil village near Heidelberg, for the newly graduated Master's students in International Health from the Heidelberg Institute of Global Health. The career development workshop is designed to provide opportunities for personal reflection, group discussions, and coaching sessions.

In the heart of October, we gathered in the beautiful city of Heidelberg, Germany, for the DAAD Alumni and Expert Workshop titled “Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases: Best Practice Examples and Ways Forward”. This event, meticulously organized by Andreas Deckert with the invaluable help of Myo Chit and Annett Messy, was a melting pot of knowledge, experiences, and cultures, gathering 25 participants from 16 different countries spanning Asia, Africa, America, and Europe.

Andreas Ruppel Fund: Support Global Health Education

Late Professor Andreas Ruppel dedicated his life to biology and schistosomes, and more importantly to cultivating young researchers or educating about planetary boundaries; his efforts left the world a kinder place. To keep his legacy alive the Andreas Ruppel Fund was created. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you have any questions or suggestions: ar-fund@uni-heidelberg.de

Why an Andreas Ruppel Fund?

One year ago, all of us decided to start a journey in which we probably needed to leave our homes, friends, and family. Even if the main goal was to learn in the classes, nothing can be compared to what I have learned from the experiences with all my classmates and teachers. During this year, I learnt from the power of the social fights.
