The World Health Summit 2021 will take place from October 24–26 in Berlin and online. The COVID-19 pandemic showed very clearly, how essential the improvement of global health is and how crucial cooperation and solidarity remain.

The World Health Summit and its academic backbone, the M8 Alliance, are confident that only with collaboration and mutual assistance beyond all borders global health crises can be tackled.

An international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral forum like the World Health Summit, where leading experts from science, politics, business, and civil soci­ety from all over the world come together in an environment of academic freedom, couldn’t be more important.
