As part of the WHS Academic Alliance, Coimbra Health has launched the Global Voices Fellowships to support the participation of young clinicians and medical students from Portuguese-speaking countries (CPLP) in the World Health Summit 2025, taking place in Berlin from October 12–14.

In line with the WHS 2025 leitmotif “Taking Responsibility for Health in a Fragmenting World”, the program aims to strengthen the presence of young professionals from underrepresented regions in global health discussions. Each selected fellow will receive up to €3,000 to cover travel and accommodation costs.

The fellowships are coordinated in collaboration with medical schools in CPLP countries. Applications are open until August 21, 2025. Apply here.
