Testimonials
“I was fascinated by how different countries with diverse backgrounds work together for the health and safety of workers. The interdisciplinary approach helps us to resolve various issues and come up with common solutions that will benefit the workforce. I personally experienced on-site exposure to industry and hospital settings that opened my mind to more opportunities. Thanks to our dedicated international mentors and facilitators who guided us throughout the one-week training and further beyond for collaborative projects in the future. The learning that I have will surely be applied in my research and advocacy on Migrant Workers and Global Health."

"It was a pleasure attending Summer School on Occupational Health at Brescia 2017 under the skilled guidance of experienced faculty. I feel lucky to be a part of the meet and gained practical workplace insight and experience at a famous Italian marble quarry and a renowned automated vehicle engine coolant pump manufacturer. It was great to professionally interact with participants and faculty on an international platform crossing borders and boundaries and get to know more about prevailing occupational health conditions and policies across the globe. An opportunity to publish our scientific papers in official journal added an extra impetus."

"I can still recall when I received an email from Dr. Roberto Lucchini in April 2015. At that moment, I thought I had already lost the opportunity for Brescia Summer School, since I had not sent my application form in time. Fortunately, they gave me a chance and I can honestly say it's really worth it. Great academic staff, important content in each session, helpful material and sources of information, factory and laboratory visiting, exchange of experiences, and of course, wonderful people I have met from different countries....all of that had made this Summer School an incredible experience for me. With all I have learned, I will do my best to improve OSH systems in my country and of course, to create better work conditions for people. I am sure that OSH give us some opportunities to make this world a better place to live for all. I would like to thank Dr. Roberto Lucchini and all his team for all the effort and dedication because Summer School was a great academic opportunity and also a set of memories I will never forget. I hope to keep in contact with everybody through a network that allows us exchanging academic opportunities and OSH strategies for enterprises."

"Attending the Summer School on Occupational Health at the University of Brescia in September 2014 has been a great opportunity to get valuable and relevant information from high qualified professionals in the field. Likewise, an academic and scientific environment encourages an exchange of knowledge and experiences among teachers and colleagues from different countries. The course is focused on evidence-based medicine and cost-effectiveness interventions that will influence and impact on the decisions from employers at workplaces. It is noteworthy the active participation of all students on solving cases and approaching situations whose solutions are showed on daily group presentations. Dynamic and close interaction as well as supervised approach and feedback from professors are remarkable features of this course. I strongly recommend this course for those who wants to be one step ahead on their careers. Besides, it is an open window for initiating research projects and having new academic experiences. I am very grateful and I feel rewarded for participating.

"I attended the University of Brescia Summer School on Occupational Health in September 2013. The Summer School was expertly and professionally organized. The course content was very comprehensive and very relevant to the needs of practicing occupational health practitioners. All the presenters were of high caliber and their presentations were of a very high standard. I particularly liked the uniqueness and mind-opening, interactive group discussions that translated to real life examples encountered in the practical occupational health field. This course was awesome, insightful and a life time opportunity that should never be missed by any occupational health professional. Surely, I wouldn't mind attending it for a second time."

"The Summer School at Brescia in 2012 was a great opportunity to meet important scientists on occupational health and toxicology of solvents. Dr. Roberto Lucchini, the Director, his assistant, Larissa Gares, and the rest of the staff of professors were really accessible. They shared with all of the participants their knowledge and useful experience in a warm and friendly environment all over the event. The spirit of collaboration of all the professors is awesome! My classmates from Serbia, Malasya, Pakistan and Italy are very important people in their countries; with a lot of experience in their occupational health problems. Those problems helped the others to see that situations are different somewhere and almost the same in others, and the good things they do, are an example of what you can do also to solve yours. The Summer School on 2012 was one of the best opportunities I have had in my career; I am very thankful for that and I am sure my classmates think the same!"

Their immediate relation to us was also one of the values of the School because we could discuss about all topics of interest in order to find the best insights and solutions for the questions we faced. I would like to underline that the group of participants was also united and we had great time working both as a team and in small groups. School had great topics and was organized excellently, respecting schedule. Finally, Brescia, where the School is situated, is a very charming place with warm and hospitable people.
