On October 10-13, 2010, the Campus Charité Mitte of the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Charité) hosted the second World Health Summit. Under the auspices of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the conference is organized by the Charité in cooperation with the M8 Alliance of Academic Health Centers and Medical Universities. The Schering Stiftung supported the 2010 World Health Summit as an important international forum for discussing global challenges in the fields of health and research. During the opening ceremony of the Summit, Nobel Prize winner Ada E. Yonath presented the art project LIFE FLAG by artist Sabine Kacunko, which is also sponsored by the Schering Stiftung.
For the second time, the World Health Summit under the direction of Prof. Dr. Karl Max Einhäupl (Chief Executive Officer, Charité), Prof. Dr. Detlev Ganten (Summit President, Charité Foundation) and Prof. Dr. Stephen K. Smith (Summit President, Imperial College London) brought together leading experts from medicine, science, government, business, and civil society to discuss the most important challenges in medical research and health care and to develop strategic solutions.
In a number of working sessions, sponsored by, among others, the Schering Stiftung, the participants of the World Health Summit developped results and recommendations which were made available to decision-makers in government, business, research, and health care systems.
