As an intergovernmental institution with a specific university mandate, EUCLID has developed its international public health/global program within the framework of its broader expertise: sustainable development, diplomacy, and interfaith bioethics. With roots and anchors on the African continent but also with stakeholders spanning the globe, from the Pacific to Asia, EUCLID combines European and American rigor with Global South dynamism to constitute a truly globalized institution.

EUCLID trains students who are typically already practitioners and public professionals serving in local or national governments as well as NGOs and international organizations such as WHO and UNICEF.
