First Meeting of Global Health Policy Think Tanks and Academic Institutions

Thursday, November 12, 2015 (All day) to Friday, November 13, 2015 (All day)
Geneva

The Global Health Programme at the Graduate Institute will for the first time ever bring together leaders from think tanks and academic institutions from around the world to discuss how the transformational approach to global development aimed for by the SDGs can be put into practice for global health and greater health equity.

This timely meeting will explore the special contribution global health policy-focused think tanks and academic institutions can make in proposing policies that could affect change and in being critical partners who question approaches and address issues of transparency and accountability.

Two public events were held in the context of the meeting, "The SDGs and the game change in Global Health" and "Global Health – Do Think Tanks Matter?".
