Blended intensive programs (BIP) in higher education combine short-term mobility with online collaboration (BIP, 2024) to foster innovative learning and teaching methods. These initiatives facilitate joint curricular development for students, academics, and staff in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and empower students to create innovative solutions for global health issues. Eight institutions from six countries developed a BIP to enhance students' understanding of global health and social challenges. The two-month program, involving 12 teachers and 35 students, was divided into an online session and an in-person week. The course covered migration, non-communicable diseases, climate change, and economic impacts on global health, emphasizing the Sustainable Development Goals. By the course's end, participants gained insights into global health complexities and the need for collaborative innovation. An online questionnaire surveyed participants, collecting both quantitative data and qualitative feedback, providing a comprehensive overview of their experiences and learning outcomes. Survey responses were mainly positive (n=25). Most participants felt the program increased their awareness of global issues, the importance of societal participation, and their profession's role in addressing them. However, some found certain lectures and activities less relevant, indicating areas for improvement.N/
