Global Lecture Series

2022-2024

Global Thematic Areas: Leadership and Governance, Environment and Planetary Health, Non-Communicable Diseases

Join us for the Global Lecture Series 2022-24 as we explore the most pressing global health issues. Our three thematic areas of focus – Leadership and Governance, Environment and Planetary Health, and Non-Communicable Diseases – are aimed at bringing together diverse perspectives and breaking down traditional silos to drive progress in public health.

Our dynamic series will feature thought-provoking conversations with leading experts from around the world. We’ll explore innovative solutions, share new research, and highlight best practices for improving health outcomes globally. We believe that by looking at these critical issues through a fresh and collaborative lens, we can drive real change in the world of public health. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to engage with a growing movement of committed actors invested in contributing to the future of global health.

2020-22

Global Thematic Areas: Health Systems Readiness and Responsiveness, Health Equity, and Global Knowledge Sharing

COVID-19 has disproportionately affected certain groups over others, threatening potentially devastating and unintended consequences for already vulnerable health systems. However, the pandemic also presents an opportunity for us to re-imagine health systems that work for all, not just for some.

In 2020-21, each IWG regional team hosted a global lecture session covering themes relevant to that particular region. During these sessions, we were joined by local experts, academics, community leaders, and practitioners to tackle issues spanning from local community responses to international structures of policy, process, and power. Each GLS session was followed by breakout groups and discussions that all attendees can be a part of.
