PPE: Partnership in Postgraduate Education
Education and Advanced Training of Scientific Personnel from Cooperating Countries
Short Description
The aim of this project is to establish or deepen cooperation with project countries on equal footing in order to give scientific personnel from these countries access to new technologies and methods in the field of laboratory diagnostics and epidemiology.
Qualified scientists from project countries are given the opportunity to conduct research on a specific issue or to participate a workshop to learn new methodologies and thereby acquire additional skills. The knowledge transfer is based on the train-the-trainer concept, i.e. after their stay at the RKI, guests should be able to pass on the acquired knowledge in their home countries. The project is aimed primarily at personnel who already have a permanent position in the public health service or laboratory in their home country and can thus serve as multipliers.
Aims of the Project
- Provide training and continuing education for staff from public health organizations/university institutions/laboratories in project countries
- Offer administrative support during the stay of the visiting scientists in Berlin
