About the project

Sharing European Educational Experience in Public Health for Israel (SEEEPHI) is a Capacity Building in Higher Education project funded through ERASMUS+, which transfers knowledge and best practices from European Union Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to countries and HEIs outside the EU.

The project begins in January 2021 and runs for three years involving ASPHER as the coordinating organization and a consortium of ASPHER Member schools (four EU HEIs[*] and four Israeli HEIs[†]) and the Israeli Association of Public Health Physicians.

SEEEPHI brings together several key European authored tools to evaluate the current conditions and needs of the Israeli Public Health Workforce and Higher Education in the field of Public Health.

Established EU best practices will then be applied to the Israeli setting based on the mapping results in order to harmonize PH educational programmes with the workforce needs and increase the employability of PH graduates. This will be accomplished in part through modernization of the HEI educational practices with emphasis in leader ship training and problem-based learning as well as outreach to key stakeholders and employers in the wider Israeli Public Health System.

ASPHER sees SEEEPHI as an excellent opportunity to pilot a comprehensive capacity building action in a specific country context, which may be applied in a similar manner to other countries and regions wishing to improve the employability of their PH graduates and build their Public Health Workforce capacity. A key outcome of the project will be a tested protocol that may be adapted to other settings and available to all ASPHER Members.
