Project Summary

Countering environmental threats, endemic in Central Asia, is of key importance. Therefore, capacity building in environmental health expertise is warranted. A teach the teacher, interdisciplinary approach is proposed. The HARMONEE consortium will consist of nine Central Asian Higher Education Institutes (CA HEIs) in four different countries and two European Universities. The lack of resources and expertise in has hampered the development of systematic and appropriate MSc education in Public Health. This is essential for appropriate surveillance programmes and advice in tackling these problems. The general aim of the project is the improvement of knowledge and practices in Public Health (involving environmental and occupational health and One Health) in line with current needs and gaps in Central Asian countries. Based on a holistic perspective MSc education in Public Health will be developed by using a Teach the Teacher approach for a sustainable output.The project specific objectives will respond to the main needs that have been identified in the Partner Countries and their different institutes.1. The development of new Msc modules for strengthening of disciplinary skills required in the field of Public Health, such as environmental epidemiology, toxicology, infectious diseases, exposures sciences, occupational health, risk assessment for MSc students.2. Building local capacity by training teachers in the development and running of MSc education in Public Health.3. Improving the level of educational and research competences and skills in participating HEIs within Public Health related fields.4. Fostering and expanding existing regional and international network regarding Public Health education.5. The implementation of an interdisciplinary approach in Public Health education.We expect that PC participants will strengthen their local expertise in Public Health related disciplines and recognize the connectivity between them.
