Room Alicante , Department of Epidemiology and Global Health, or online using Zoom
A conversation with Seye Abimbola, Helen Schneider and Joseph Zulu
Crises are increasingly described as interconnected and mutually reinforcing, giving rise to the notion of polycrisis. But is this really something new, and does the concept help us better understand and respond to public health challenges? What implications, if any, does it have for how we educate future public health professionals and organise global research partnerships?
This webinar is organised as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of the Department of Epidemiology and Global Health at Umeå University, home to the Umeå International School of Public Health.
Everyone is welcome. Attend in person in Room Alicante, Department of Epidemiology and Global Health, or online using the Zoom link : https://umu.zoom.us/j/68607374457
