Health Geography Researcher's Network
The International Geographical Union Commission on Health and the Environment (IGU CHE) has initialized a Researcher Network to further stimulate and support international networking and exchange on health geography, global health, public health and environment and health issues.
The researcher network aims to encourage participation by researchers of all age groups with special focus on enlarging participation of young researchers to ensure the sustainability of the commission for the future.
We closely interact and collaborate with the steering committee of IGU CHE while at the same time also focusing on the specific issues and interests of health geography researchers. We aim to utilize and communicate the knowledge of health geography, health and the environment as well as global health and public health. Thus the group develops a multinational and multidisciplinary perspective and creates a network that support contacts and shares research and work experiences in our fields of study.
The researcher network is supported and organized through a steering group (network representatives) including representatives from different geographical areas. The regional representatives will be in charge to actively reach out to their regional scientific community and share their experience and insights. In addition, working groups with representatives for specific areas of concern are created to enhance exchange of knowledge with a more topic driven focus.
The network representatives will regularly communicate electronically to ensure and enhance interaction between the regional members on joint research activities, interests, and initiatives.
