Event Summary
The Social Entrepreneurship Workshop was hosted by the Global Health Academy as a training for early career researchers, aiming to support impact in the context of global health research. The group of participants (featured in the photo) included epidemiologists, climate change researchers, microbiologists and researchers from many other fields. The two-day workshop included case studies of projects which have harnessed innovative solutions to solve health problems, primarily in the context of global health.
