ABOUT THE M8 ALLIANCE

The M8 Alliance of Academic Health Centers, Universities and National Academies is the academic foundation of the World Health Summit. It is a growing network and currently consists of 30 members in 20 countries, including the InterAcademy Partnership, which represents the national academies of medicine and science in 130 countries.

The M8 Alliance was initiated by Charité Universitätsmedizin – Berlin in 2009 on the occasion of the first World Health Summit. The goal of the M8 Alliance: Agenda-setting for global health improvement and development of science based solutions to global health challenges.

The International Presidency of the World Health Summit rotates annually among members of the M8 Alliance. As a result of each World Health Summit the M8 Alliance issues the M8 Alliance Declaration: recommendations for action to international policymakers. The M8 Alliance organizes annual Regional Meetings in the member countries, regular Expert Meetings, and Summer Schools.
