Background: Changing political and economic relations in Europe mean that there are new challenges for public health and public health training. There have been several attempts to develop training at the master's level in public health which is focused on meeting the new needs. These have failed due to being too inflexible to allow participation by schools of public health. Methods: A project funded by the European Union invoking public health trainers has developed a new approach which allows participating schools to retain their national differences and work within local rules and traditions, but which aims to introduce the European dimension into public health training. This paper reports the conclusions of this project. Conclusions: A network of schools wishing to develop European Master's degrees is being established and other schools offering good quality programmes will be able to join.

Keywords: puhblic health training, European masters degree, European dimension
