Driven by a programme of outreach, this partnership will include: active conversation and debate through roundtable and conference engagement; the development of research hubs and interactive resources across both the leading scientific journal Nature and the consumer magazine, Scientific American; and the launch of a global Nature Award program - all with the aim of facilitating and supporting adoption of new ideas and best practice, underpinning approaches to global health equity in the long-term.
One key output of this partnership will be a virtual panel focusing on , 2022, ‘Achieving Health Equity Together – Forging the Path Forward’ on September 13.
The event, which is open to the public free of cost, will explore best practices for advancing health equity locally and globally, as well as providing tangible insights to energize and empower others to address health inequities in their own communities. Visit the conference page to register.
During the panel, speakers will break down what health equity means (looks and feels like) around the world and share learnings from their own efforts to make communities healthier. In addition to exploring ways people across industries and sectors can collaborate to create a more equitable world for future generations.
