The GLOHRA Academy Series is a format of the Global Health Academy that presents and discusses global health research from the perspectives of the different research disciplines. Every first Tuesday in a month, a speaker shares insights of her/his research projects while focusing on research processes, methods as well as lessons learned. The Series directs special attention towards the added value of interdisciplinary and international cooperation in global health research. The Global Health Academy is an initiative of the German Alliance for Global Health Research (GLOHRA) with the explicit mission to support the next generation of global health researchers.
