Governance Model
The leadership of EUGLOH follows a shared governance model. This model ensures the participation of all members of the academic community, especially students (from all socio-cultural backgrounds, subject areas and degree levels). It also guarantees inclusive and holistic representation in the decision-making processes of the Alliance.
Governing Board
Responsibilities: The Governing Board is the ultimate decision-making body of the Alliance; it is entitled to consider legal issues and lobbying to or on behalf of the Alliance. It is a decision-making body that takes decisions on the overall strategic orientation and mission of the project, endorsement of the budget and legal issues concerning the consortium
Members: The Governing Board is led by a rotating chair, chosen from among the rectors and presidents of the partner institutions. The board's voting members are the President or Rector of each partner institution. It is advised by a rotating group of three (3) representatives of the International Student Board, by the representatives of the International Academic Board, and by the EUGLOH Coordinator and Secretary-General. Vice-rectors and vice-presidents as well as the Student Coordinator may also attend, among others.
Executive Board
Responsibilities: The Executive Board is the supervisory body for the execution of the Project; it is responsible for making the bridge between strategy and operations for the Alliance and thus has a key role in making its tactical decisions. The Executive Board shall report to and be accountable to the Governing Board.
Members: The Executive Board is led by the Alliance Coordinator. Its voting members are the Vice-Presidents, Vice-Rectors or their equivalent from each partner institution. They are advised by the International Student and Academic Boards (all members who may attend) and by the Secretary-General. Academic Work Package Leaders, Institutional Managers and Work Package Managers and co-managers may also participate.
Operations
Secretariat
The Secretariat is responsible for ensuring the overall execution of the EUGLOH work plan – coordinating the actions of Work Package Managers and co-managers (and through them, their teams) as well as those of the Institutional Managers.
Work package coordination
There are eight work packages, each pursuing different objectives. Every work package has its own coordination team, composed of Work Package Managers and co-managers and guided by Academic Leaders and co-leaders, students, and potentially associated partners. The Work Package Managers and co-managers are in charge of implementing tasks and activities jointly decided by the team. They work with the Secretariat to ensure the overall coordination of the EUGLOH work plan.

More about EUGLOH
UiT The Arctic University of Norway has, since it was founded, prioritized the education of health personnel and research on health and welfare. We have therefore built up expertise and interdisciplinary collaboration that can contribute to developing the Arctic region in these areas.
In 2023, we deepened this work on an European level when we became a partner in The European University Alliance for Global Health (EUGLOH). We also have local partners such as Helse Nord, Troms County Council, Tromsø Municipality and Arctic Frontiers.
Today, nine European universities are partners in this alliance. They have joined forces when it comes to education, research and innovation. Their joint projects are financed by EU's ERASMUS program and Horizon Europe.
A main goal of EUGLOH is to build the future European campus for global health.
Together, the nine universities have created a common platform that opens up many opportunities for thousands of students, researchers and academic staff.
Through EUGLOH, 338,500 students, 54,000 academics and 112 faculties and schools are now connected.
Educational expertise and scientific infrastructure at the nine universities are made available through EUGLOH to both students, academic staff and researchers, within a wide range. There, life sciences and social sciences play a central role. In such a setting, emphasis is also placed on research-based learning.
EUGLOH's intercampus initiative is intended to be able to meet a number of challenges related to welfare and public health.
EUGLOH aims to make studies at each campus as easy and practically accessible as possible. It is also a goal to facilitate good working conditions for academic staff and researchers.
‘In games, you can fail and recover as much as you like’
UiT collaborates closely with the University of Porto to develop new methods for learning through simulation technology and video games. Such courses are now being offered at several EUGLOH universities.

An important goal for the EUGLOH alliance is to enable students to stay at partner universities. We have a platforms which can secure a high degree of mobility for students at bachelor's and master's levels.
This can involve short-term stays, such as workshops, summer schools, seminars, or conferences.
With programs such as ERASMUS+ it is also possible for students to have long-term study stays at EUGLOH's partner universities.
In addition to this, students can apply to have internship stays at partner universities, which are part of their own degree, or they can be trainees in a private company, facilitated by EUGLOH.
Study opportunities
Here you can find a list of study programs, which you can apply to, at a bachelor and master level, at EUGLOH partner universities.
Master
If you want to apply for a master’s degree, in a field relevant for global health, there are several options.
Internship
It is possible for students to apply for internships, e.g. if you want to work on an international team at a partner university.
Traineeships for studenter
One of EUGLOH's goals is to connect companies with competent candidates who want to gain experience at an international level, to complete a traineeship as part of their degree.
This can strengthen their professional competency and create a good foundation for a future career. In a job market with high mobility this may increase future prospects for employment.
EUGLOH aims to connect firms with competent candidates who would like to gain professional experience from an internship at an international level, as part of their education.
At EUGLOH partner universities it is possible to apply for traineeships which are related to global health, in several academic disciplines.
PhD

The International Cooperation Section at UiT The Arctic University of Norway is now offering new stipends to university employees.
It is earmarked to university employees who would like to initiate activities which stimulate increased cooperation between UiT and at least one other partner university in the EUGLOH alliance.
The stipend will preferably be used for travel between two partner universities, but it can also be used to support other types of activities.
Besides from covering travel expenses, the stipend can be supplemented with other sources of funding (e.g. ERASMUS, annuum or project funding).
The stipend is only given to applicants who plan to initiate a new project or promote existing projects in areas such as education, research, innovation or cooperation between scientific institutions.
If we receive more applications than available stipends, we will prioritize applications that align with existing goals for international cooperation, within EUGLOH and/or UIT. Applications for travel funding to/from less visited partners will also be prioritized.
Click here to send us an application for a stipend.
New application will be receieved and processed by our EUGLOH-staff at UiT.
• Do you have a course you want to develop further or a new course you want to create?
• Do you want to reach students at other European universities with your course?
• Or do you want to collaborate with European colleagues to create a course?
If so, you might want to look into EUGLOH's Seed Money Programme. It is aimed at building new learning arenas for European universities related to, among other things, courses on career building for academics, cultural and democratic understanding, and global challenges in health and environmental fields.
The program enables university teachers to establish international contacts by working together with colleagues at partner universities.
The courses seeking support should provide an offer to EUGLOH students. Existing courses can be further developed to become accessible to foreign students and thus qualify as EUGLOH courses.
If you want to build a course where you need expertise that UiT does not offer, we can help find this expertise through our partner universities. Together, we can design unique educational offerings for our students and staff.
By establishing EUGLOH courses, you get a great opportunity to market UiT and your faculty to international environments, creating synergies for both you and UiT as a whole.
We are happy to help you set up courses and put you in contact with resource persons or environments. If you have questions about EUGLOH, feel free to contact us: oyvind.h.mikalsen@uit.no
Information about the application process
Funds granted through the seedcorn program are intended to cover salaries, and expenses related to travel and meetings, but also other costs. Partner universities collaborating to organize courses should both share the funds granted.
The application deadline for seedcorn funds is February 1, 2025.
Links to application templates can be found at the bottom of this webpage.
NB: It is important to note that applications must be signed by the leaders of the institutions (or dean, vice-rector, or others) involved, with signatures from teachers participating in the planned courses.
Selection process and reporting
A committee will prepare a proposal for a work package group regarding which applications should receive support.
The work package group will then make the final decision, which will be announced in March.
Four months after the approval of a project, project leaders should design a progress report. After the project is completed, a report on the progress and challenges faced by the partner universities during the project implementation should be written.
A summary of the next steps for the project should be made, delivered together with the documents on how the course or program was conducted.
A financial report for the project should be designed in accordance with instructions from EUGLOH's institutional leader at each partner university.
The submission deadline is 15 months after the approval of a project application.
