WHAT IS IT?
The Global Health calendar, or GH calendar, is a tool that will centralize information about events occurring worldwide related to Global Health, so you can easily access them and you don’t miss anything! The events will be published by us, but you can contribute in filling the calendar with GH events of your interest. We want this tool to be easily accessible, practical, updated and collaborative.
It is important to note that we do not organize the events found in this calendar. The ones organized by the Global Health Next Generation Network are found in Events.
This means that we cannot ensure that this events will happen, and we do not take responsibility if they are cancelled. We also want to make clear that we are not receiving any gains from promoting these events.
HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE?
You can contribute to the GH calendar by sending us events you find interesting in the form found below, as long as they are within the scope of Global Health. We’ll review them and publish them on the calendar.
At the same time, you can also add comments giving your opinion of past events you have attended, either if you knew about them thanks to our tool or not. You will find the comments form soon in this page.

March 16, 2021(1 event) All day Title: Beyond the Pandemic HERE Conference – What next? Organizers: Humanitarian Exchange and Research Centre (HERE) Geneva Description: The humanitarian sector has not been short of reform or change efforts over the years. At the core of each attempt has been the aim to do better, to reach those most affected by crisis in a timely manner with the assistance and protection they need. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought in another layer of policy and operational reckoning. It has pushed humanitarians to question, adapt and at times transform their approaches and ways of working. It is intervening at a time of broader questions around structural power imbalances and the role of humanitarians in addressing the climate crisis. It is also accelerating change processes already under way. It is too early to tell what changes are here to stay. What is clear, however, is that it is up to the humanitarian sector to leverage this moment of global crisis to exert the type of transformative change it may really need. Through the conference, HERE would like to use the preliminary findings of its research project “Beyond the pandemic” to move collectively from analysis to solutions. If we have a good idea of what does not work, how do we make change happen? What needs to be integrated into current global policy processes? The true value of an ecosystem is its diversity of views. HERE is therefore not looking for the ideal solution but it rather believes in creating the opportunity to bring different visions together to map alternative ways forward.

This interdisciplinary workshop investigates the history of feminist science and technology studies, situating its emergence and development in the context of second wave feminism, Cold War social science, and critical environmentalism. At the same time, its participants examine for a variety of different fields and research objects, the impact of gendered distributions of labor, of heteronormative images of “nature”, or of ideals of masculinity in the construction of Language: ENG Registration: Free/ Need to previous register Online |
