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.

All day: How to Effectively Communicate Your Science to Any Audience

All day
May 20, 2021

Title: How to Effectively Communicate Your Science to Any Audience

Organizers: New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS)

Description: You’re trying your best to communicate your work effectively, but listeners aren’t following you or they’re bored. You want your audience to see your work like you do - its value, its potential to change the world…but how are you supposed to communicate to non-experts about your research?
In this live, interactive course, you’ll learn to translate your research into clear, engaging descriptions so you can excel in job interviews, write lay abstracts for grant funding, and communicate with non-experts in any setting—from department and industry presentations to meetings with funders and even family get-togethers and chats with friends.

Dates: 20th May - 10th June

Language: ENG

Registration: $500 (deadline: May 17th), limited to 30 participants.
