Dear reader,
Welcome to the first edition of the RKI newsletter on international activities!
Building on the foundation of the ZIG newsletter, this new format reflects the Robert Koch Institute’s expanding international engagement across all departments. Each issue brings together highlights from our global collaborations—whether in research, fieldwork, training, or policy—to showcase how RKI is working with partners worldwide to protect and promote public health.
In this issue, we share updates from across continents: from outbreak response efforts in Angola to research workshops in Namibia and Germany, from digital simulations to climate-focused summer schools. We also feature insights from the World Health Assembly, the GOARN Fellowship Program, and our growing partnership with the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence.
Thank you for your interest and commitment to global health. We look forward to continuing this journey with you.
