The GHBN Summer School in South Africa is offered to students and researchers who are at different career stages from partner institutions, regional collaborators and LMIC-based bioethics researchers. The purpose of this fully funded summer school is to develop skills and competencies of participants necessary to identify and solve ethical issues which arise in different research areas. This international summit will focus and support research on real ethical issues related to global health research, practice, and policy.

Global Health Bioethics Network Summer School is a small conference where current work being done will be presented and new innovative topics in global health bioethics will be shared and discussed. During this summer research program, a workshop on skills training will be organized which will focus on training needs and interests of the participants. These skills will be helpful for participants in their future research careers.
