The organising committee
Agis Terzidis, MD, PhD
Monitoring & Quality Assurance
“As responsible for the MSc programmes’ curriculum, I have been present in
every previous intensive seminar organised by the course. This year’s
seminar has to be extraordinary and address modern challenges in the
developing world, such as climate change. My experience as a paediatrician
will be valuable in terms of addressing childhood diseases prevalent in the
subsaharan Africa and shedding light to social challenges faced by children in
those countries.”
Michail Krikelis, MD, MSc
Academic Programme & Fundraising
“This intensive seminar has to be a unique experience for every participant.
As responsible for the academic activities of the schedule, I commit for the
seminar to provide deep scientific knowledge in the fields of tropical
medicine, travel medicine and global health. As a human rights advocate, I
commit that relevant topics, such as social exclusion and vulnerable social
groups, will be studied, too. A socially responsible fundraising effort will
substantially boost our efforts and will ensure success in all levels”
Evgenia Fragkiskou, Public Health Nurse, MSc
Social Activities & Fundraising
“Social life is an integral aspect of the seminar, especially in the exotic sub-
saharan area. Participants will find themselves many kilometres away from
home and carefully planned activities in the daily schedule will make them
feel like at home. An educational hue will be given to the social programme
by raising topics, such as prevention and health promotion in the local
community. As an alumnus of the MSc programme “Global Health - Disaster
Medicine” I commit to bring global health challenges of Africa in scope, but
in the most entertaining way. The goal will be to combine fun with
knowledge. Of course, funds are an important fuel for all the activities planned and, for this very
reason, fundraising efforts will be targeted and goal oriented.”
Elena Cardoso, School Nurse, MSc
Promotion & Participants
“Click, click, click. This is the sound of the cameras that will fill the
tanzanian air during our presence there. I commit to ensure a targeted
promotional campaign and a vivid online representation of the seminar’s
activities, with social responsibility and awareness about the local health
challenges being the solid pillars. Choosing the right participants for this
seminar is the most important ingredient, since it is our humans that
guarantee success in all levels. Last but not least, as a nurse and an alumnus
of this MSc programme, I will strive to highlight the important role of nurses
in the african healthcare systems and provide a glimpse of their professional surroundings."
