UCL Health of the Public Annual Symposium

Join us on Tuesday 18 April to explore some of our biggest public health challenges. Hear from leading experts in health inequalities and climate change and health, as we discuss what needs to be done to improve health for all, beyond disciplinary borders.

Our expert panel will be debating how to strengthen relationships between research, policy and practice. The symposium also offers an exploration of the innovative research being undertaken by our cross-disciplinary Small Grants Scheme Researchers, and our Early Career Researchers.

We are also holding an abstract competition (oral and poster) for UCL Early Career Researchers around a wide range of population health research. Find out more and submit your abstract here.
