Aston University, in association with the Universities Policy Engagement Network (UPEN), is holding a series of annual international policy engagement summits, aimed at helping UK academic researchers to find out how best to collaborate with international organisations and partners in one broad policy area. UPEN is a UK-wide umbrella organisation which represents more than 100 higher education organisations, most of which are universities.
The event will feature guest speakers and contributors who have worked for both global health organisations and academic institutions, and thus have ‘insider’ insights to offer from both perspectives. In addition to providing helpful guidance on some of the practical and cultural challenges which face UK academics who wish to collaborate with such organisations, the summit will also consider the priorities of the organisations which fund global health research, and it will debate the question of how global health research can be decolonised.
More information on speakers, panellists and event schedule for the day can be found on our webpage.
