Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp (ITM)

ITM aims at the advancement and spread of the sciences that contribute to tropical medicine and to public health in developing countries, inclusive of their global dimensions.

History

The Institute for Tropical Medicine (ITM) was established over a century ago. We began by training doctors and nurses to work in the Congo and are now internationally recognised in the fields of education, medicine, science and world health.

Education

  • At ITM, internationalisation is a key feature of students, staff and course programmes. After your studies, stay globally connected through the alumni network.
  • Courses in tropical medicine and international health for professionals from around the world.

Research

The ITM is an inter-university but autonomous post-graduate institute for specialised training, research and services provision. It is supervised by a Board of Governors on which all concerned universities and authorities are represented. The ITM draws its academic recognition and core funding from the Ministry of Education of the Flemish Community in Belgium

Career

Students and staff can benefit from ITM’s strong international ties and membership in many EU and international/global partnerships and networks. European and international cooperation projects in education englobe strategic partnerships, knowledge alliances as well as capacity building projects. These are coordinated by the Education Office and the Education Units in the three scientific departments of ITM. Significant examples are tropEd and 'The Alliance'.
