In a context of already dense research cooperation, this networking event aims to encourage the development of new collaborations between Belgian, Dutch and French actors in the field of global health research.

This event is a follow-up to the webinar organised on 2 December 2020 which presented good practices on joint PhD’s and opportunities for cooperation in the field of health (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKFTrEm5Or0). It is co-organised by the French Embassy in Belgium, the French Institute of the Netherlands and Campus France.
