The Executive Programme in International Politics and Diplomacy for Health 2026

About the programme

The programme comprises of five online workshops, and a five-day masterclass in Sweden. The programme is delivered around a practitioner-to-practitioner model rather than traditional teaching - bringing some of the most experienced leaders in the global health sphere together with the course participants.

Methodology

The programme is built on the sharing of real present or past personal experiences from navigating in regional or global political contexts for health (including storytelling, debates and peer-to-peer learning). Participants will also be guided by relevant reading material (books and short articles) as well as existing short online video sessions and podcasts.

Participant Profile and Eligibility Criteria

The program enrolls up to 28 mid-career professionals from all regions of the world and will have a geographically representative and gender-balanced mix of participants from the public and private sectors and civil society.

Nomination and application process

Applications to the Executive Program in Global Health Diplomacy are accepted by nomination only. Senior colleagues and leaders within relevant organizations will be invited to nominate potential fellows who meet the program’s criteria. Direct applications from individuals will not be considered.
