The programme includes a wide range of courses, workshops and meetings, in which people from all levels of action in the public health will participate, covering investigation to the formulation of transnational health policies.

At present is has a residence administered by the Ministry of Health, base for the Summer School for Public Health held there every year.

More over, the European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET) has organised a course that will be held at the Llatzaret from September 25 to October 12, and a seminary that will take place in the Teatre Pricipal de Maó from October 13 to 15.
