Something to say?

The Alma Mata is open to contributions from members to share information, news and links. Adding content is as easy as filling in a web based form and requires no website knowledge!

You can:

• contribute stories, publicise research, campaigns or projects in the Global Health News sections;
• contribute original research papers as a Working Paper in the Research and Advocacy section.
• submit a 'campaign focus' and organisation profile to the research and advocacy section.

Careers interviews, and organisation profiles
We are inviting members to profile research organisations and their current campaigns, NGOs from large charities like Save the Children or Amnesty to smaller local organisations, and individuals working in global health or studying post-grad or under-grad levels. You can fill in a form online on the World Search page.
