Staff at the Oslo University Hospital (OUS) have been engaged in global health research and capacity development for decades. What is the status today? What is understood by the term “global health” in 2022? How does it affect OUS, the work and research?
During this free and open seminar, members of OUS will present a few of the projects currently in progress. You will meet representatives from different fields, sharing their experience and pointing out possibilities for you to get involved.
Join us for a half-day seminar on November 22, 2022 from 12:30-17:00. Who knows, maybe you will find inspiration – and potential partners for a project proposal. No need for registration, this event is free and open to all! Please note that the seminar will be held in-person and will not be streamed online.
