Rutgers Global Health Institute provides an institutional membership for Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Any Rutgers faculty, students, trainees, or staff who are interested in attending the conference should register at the reduced member rate.
This year’s conference theme is Global Health Without Borders: Acting for Impact. Over 2,000 scientists, students and implementers from academia, NGOs, government and the private sector will present, learn and collaborate to address some of the pressing challenges our world faces. A wide range of medical and non-medical disciplines are represented throughout the in-person pre-conference satellite sessions (free to attend, register online) and the March 7-10 conference.
