IGHN CONFERENCES

We are pleased to offer a sponsorship opportunity for the Irish Global Health Network’s ‘Global Imbalance and Social Inclusion’ Conference in autumn, 2022. Through our conference, we aim to raise funds to enable us to continue to facilitate learning, connecting, influencing, and engaging with individuals and institutions within the global health community in Ireland and worldwide, and to offer the highest quality global health events.

The conference is an unparalleled opportunity to position the work of your organisation at the forefront of global health activity across the world. Our team has extensive experience in managing both in-person and online events for diverse, international audiences in the global health sector. Over the past two years alone, IGHN has hosted 40+ live web events with over 120 leading Irish and international speakers and with 25,000+ viewers. Our events and conferences have attracted audiences from 80+ countries. This year’s conference will utilise a hybrid model, with a mix of online attendees and face-to-face delegates at Trinity College Dublin.

• Venue for the face-to face element,
• Digital technology to support the online portion of the conference,
• CPD accreditation for the conference, and
• Support the presence and activities of students and young professionals at the conference.

This opportunity will allow you to reach out to the delegates and speakers and enhance your visibility through a range of engagement and promotional opportunities including:

• Recognition in newsletter to 2000+ viewers,

STUDENT OUTREACH TEAM

The IGHN Student Outreach Team was formed to give students a stronger voice in the IGHN. It is composed of a group of current students and recent graduates of courses related to global health and development across nine universities in Ireland.

This group allows the students to contribute new and innovative ideas, helps ensure that the IGHN is meeting student needs, and provides members with exciting opportunities and connections in the field of global health. We
also run a student podcast series, a series by students for students which focuses on the experiences of early-career professionals and undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students focused on global health.

To foster creative and innovative thinking and develop a sustainable outlook among students, we will be conducting a “National Debate” in 2022 for which we are welcoming sponsors. To participate or support our Student Outreach Team, please reach out to sotcoordinator@globalhealth.ie
