ICHS Public Seminar Series

UCL's International Institute for Health and Society (IISH) consists of a group of scientists who meet regularly to undertake, publish and promote research into the socio-economic determinants of health and their implications for policy.

The Institute is a unique multidisciplinary collaboration of leading academics, working on health and society in a global context in conjunction with the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health. The Institute brings together renowned leaders in the disciplines of Anthropology, Development, Economics, Epidemiology, Medicine and Sociology from different UCL departments, to work collaboratively on global health problems.

The main aim of the IISH is to promote the understanding of the social determinants of health and human development in the various sections of society concerned with research and policy.

International Institute for Health and Society (IISH) hosts nine public seminars per year at UCL for policy makers, health practitioners, academic colleagues and interested members of the general public from the UK and abroad. Refreshments follow the seminars and visitors are welcome to meet with members of the IISH. Graduate students from the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health and neighbouring institutions are encouraged to attend.
