Collaboration at the Department of Global Public Health
At the Department of Global Public Health, we collaborate in research and education with partners all over the world, including universities, public health agencies, civil society, and patient organisations.
Engaged in policy work and as experts
Our researchers continuously engage in the formulation of policy documents about public and global health challenges, for example policy briefings and guidelines produced by national agencies and the WHO. We also write textbooks and popular science publications in weekly and monthly magazines. Many researchers at our department contribute with their expertise to multilateral organisations such as the UNICEF and the WHO. They act as temporary advisors, members of expert committees or external experts in national research councils and organisations. We intervene in acute disaster and epidemic situations, either by preparing people before they occur or by providing support ourselves on site.
Close collaboration with public health services in Region Stockholm
We collaborate closely with the local public health services in Region Stockholm, who provide an important infrastructure with local data. Several of our employees have joint appointments at the department and at Region Stockholm.
We communicate our research to the public
We value close contact with the public at large and offer public lectures. We arrange Stockholm Public Health Lectures in collaboration with the Centre for Epidemiology and Community Medicine, Region Stockholm. The lecture series focuses on key topics in the area of public health, as well as issues that concern the planning and commissioning of health care. We give presentations at international, national, and regional stakeholder conferences, cooperate with many patient organisations, and engage with the media to discuss and debate current issues.
