Launch of The George Institute for Global Health at Imperial College London
The George Institute for Global Health and Imperial College London’s dynamic and progressive collaboration was formally established in early 2022 to work across several core research areas: health systems science, multimorbidity, women’s health, clinical trials, and planetary health.
The launch event will celebrate this partnership by bringing together researchers from across the Institute and College to showcase some of the exciting research programmes that are underway and planned, and to highlight opportunities for further collaborations to staff, research funders, philanthropists, and policy makers.
The day will feature a keynote from Professor Charlotte Watts (Chief Scientific Adviser and Director for Research and Evidence in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office); Professor Otavio Berwanger, the newly appointed Executive Director of The George Institute at Imperial, will outline our vision for this collaboration; there will be two thematic sessions involving senior level academics, as well as early- and mid-career researchers from The George Institute and Imperial, presenting current and planned research; and a concluding panel discussion, involving senior global health academics, addressing key challenges in global health.
Further details will be sent out in the run-up to the event. If you have any questions in the meantime, please email info@georgeinstitute.org.uk.
