New UBC Health initiative cultivates interdisciplinary research collaborations

22 June, 2021

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated some existing trends and put a spotlight on others. We are now faced with the challenge of responding to the broad effects of the pandemic. 

In response to this opportunity, UBC Health is launching Health After 2020, an initiative designed to support new interdisciplinary collaborations which may lead to new research programs and engagement with policymakers and communities. The initiative will convene and inform people at this inflection point in our society through academic outputs, cross-campus conversations, and public lectures resulting from the new collaborations.

Attend the inaugural public lecture to learn more about Health After 2020 and prepare for the call for proposals that will follow. This initiative is open to faculty members interested in starting or continuing their own cross-institutions and interdisciplinary research collaborations. 

Looking back and moving forward: Supporting health after 2020
