The 2024 Global Health Research Showcase brought together (in person and online) celebrated academics in the Global Health field discussing their areas of work and the links between evidence to policy and change. There were speakers not only from the University of Birmingham, but also institutions such as the World Health Organization, The British Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the National Institute for Health and Social Care Research and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
Presentations, panel discussions and videos during the day highlighted the importance of the work undertaken by researchers from the University of Birmingham, working in partnership with organisations in different countries such as China, India, Kenya and more, to conduct research which is locally impactful and sustainable.
The event also included a strong focus on networking, to generate more conversations around global health and encourage relationships between researchers and stakeholders from different disciplines to build connections and opportunities for collaboration.
