2026 International Summer school

The international summer school is organised each year by Isped, in collaboration with the Bordeaux Population Health Research Centre (INSERM U1219). It is open to professionals wishing to strengthen or update their skills, and may be of interest to Master's and PhD students. The modules offered (in person or online), grouped into three main areas (biostatistics and data management, epidemiology, and public health and prevention), provide up-to-date knowledge of key methods and practices in public health applied both to industrialised and to developing and emerging countries in order to address major health issues.
Most modules are taught in French. Modules in English are marked with a little flag .

The summer school will take place from June 1 to 19, 2026.
