The drastic changes in European politics, economy, environment and technology during the last decade have profoundly influenced the role and scope of public health practice and training. A response to training in public health was given by the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) and WHO by creating a joint task force in order to propose a European Master's Degree in Public Health, based on the ‘health for all’ principles. Attempts to develop curricula and learning materials were not very successful and, instead, a peer review system as a means of establishing a European standard in public health training, together with mutual recognition and a common standard in professional qualifications has been suggested. Principles, criteria and practical steps for this Public Health Education European Review(PEER) are outlined.

Keywords: public health training, Europe, peer review, recognition
