The University of California Global Health Institute (UCGHI), spanning ten-UC campuses, is hosting our signature conference that showcases the outstanding global health research, training, education and advocacy taking place across the University of California system and beyond. Our network is made up of local and global multidisciplinary collaborators working with students, post-docs, staff, faculty, educators/scholars, health providers, lawyers, policymakers, community members, and others working on cutting edge issues.

Interdisciplinary by nature and collaborative in spirit, global health efforts encompass a range of academic topics – from psychology to engineering to sustainability and economics, scholars are committed to improving the health of humans, animals and ecosystems around the globe.

This is an amazing opportunity to gather and share our collective work in global health and join the conversation to advance health equity, locally and globally, through policy and advocacy.
