Global Health Governance Research Network In October 2007, the Centre on Global Change and Health, with funding from the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of British Columbia, co-sponsored a two day research workshop to explore the relationship between Civil Society and Global Health Governance. It was agreed that an important output from the Workshop should be a website where scholars with an interest in Global Health Governance – broadly defined – could upload short biographies, contact details and research interests. This webpage aims to fulfil that objective, and function as an information and network hub for new and experienced researchers active in this field. Resources and Links
