CEPS advisory forum on the EU’s role in global health

Against the background of a turbulent world order, strained budgetary situations and defunding of key institutions and initiatives, the EU and its Member States have to navigate a new situation in global health governance. While old platforms for cooperation and traditional donor relations struggle, new initiatives and actors are emerging.

More than three years after the adoption of the EU’s global health strategy, Europe urgently needs to take stock of its role, keeping in mind the necessity to move towards more equitable partnerships and transfer of critical technologies. 

The  CEPS  advisory  forum on the EU’s role in global health serves as a platform for exchange of ideas, providing policy recommendations on how Europe can become a more forward-thinking and constructive player in global health. It brings together high-level experts from academia as well as health diplomacy and governance, including from non-European contexts and low- and middle-income countries. By grounding strategic discussions in frontline realities and non-European perspectives, its efforts contribute to a more informed and impactful policy discussion.
