2-5pm, Kennedy Lecture Theatre, UCL Institute of Child Health

 

If you are a researcher, clinician or other professional interested in adolescent health or development, you are strongly encouraged to attend our initial workshop on 21 February 2012.

 

Prof. Sir John Tooke, ViceProvost for Health, will launch this initiative.

Our aim is to set up a cross-UCL network to support and build research capacity, enable networking and the development of inter-disciplinary initiatives, support clinical developments and interventions to improve adolescent health and well-being, and identify UCL as a world leader in adolescent health and development. 

 

The network is jointly supported by the Reproduction and Development Domain and the Population Health Domain of the UCL School of Life and Medical Sciences (SLMS) and by the UCL Grand Challenge of Human Wellbeing (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/human-wellbeing).
