Human Rights in Health

Due to the current situation relating to COVID-19, the face-to-face realisation of the summer school becomes impossible.
For this reason and in order to safeguard the safety and health of everyone involved, it has been decided that the summer school will take place online.

The tuition fees amount to EUR 100,00 for students of all levels and EUR 150,00 for jurists and health professionals for entries up to May 15th, 2020.
We are looking forward to seeing you online at the summer school!
