Greetings from the Director

In response to the health challenges of a global

world and in line with calls for more efficient

knowledge production towards the

Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, the

scale of Global Health research has grown both

in Norway and worldwide.

The idea that researchers from different fields

should work in collaboration has reconfigured

health research, with the view that Global

Health research plays a significant role in

addressing disparities in Global Health. The Faculty of Medicine (MedFac) at the University of Oslo

(UiO) aims to be at the forefront of this movement, striving to address the Global Health challenges

of today.

The Centre for Global Health (CGH) is an initiative of MedFac, hosted by the Institute of Health and

Society (HELSAM). The focus of CGH is to support and link the existing knowledge base of Global

Health research at MedFac to relevant networks, human and financial resources, while further

strengthening Global Health research capacity within the university. Another key function of CGH is

to disseminate information to the wider community of researchers, decision makers and the public,

while enhancing the Global Health profile of MedFac through high quality events, communication

and reporting. In addition, active participation of CGH in national Global Health forums and

international networks further supports and develops the role of MedFac in these organisations, both

in terms of research collaboration and promoting access to novel and innovative funding sources.

Thus, CGH is committed to advance Global Health through a) offering integrative contribution to

research activities by supporting researchers directly; b) fostering education by teaching, supporting

and supervising post-graduate students; and, c) investing in administration of and assistance with

events, proposals and projects, all related to Global Health.

My team and I strive to maintain a stimulating platform for dialogue and action to address Global

Health challenges. We are grateful for the support from MedFac, HELSAM, CGH Steering Committee,

the Technical Advisory Board and UiO rectorate, as well as our partners and networks. We are looking

forward to a busy and fruitful 2019.

Prof. Andrea S. Winkler

Director of the Centre for Global Health, University of Oslo

Research activities

Developing and strengthening collaboration and communication between researchers at the university is a strategic activity for improving research efficiency and outcomes. In order to facilitate networking and communication between research groups with common interests, CGH has consolidated existing Global Health research at UiO into virtual Signatory Themes.

The themes are designed to represent current research and adapt to the changing environment and

priorities within Global Health. They provide access to information on who is active in Global Health

at UiO and function as a portal for Global Health projects and events for internal and external users.

Signatory themes at the Centre for Global Health

Consolidation

After initial two years of establishing a comprehensive Global Health platform at MedFac/UiO, CGH

in 2018 developed a consolidation plan for the next 5 years. Within this plan, CGH have a specific

focus on capacity development in Global Health research and education at MedFac/UiO by:

1. Supporting innovative and upcoming research groups that have more of a national focus and

are in an early phase but have the potential for excellence, high impact and long-term

sustainability.

2. Ensuring long-term sustainability of already successful Global Health research groups.

The Norwegian Global Health landscape has a longstanding commitment to global maternal & child

health and infectious diseases. As a consequence, we have a well-established sexual & reproductive

health as well as an infectious diseases hub with a strong support base at MedFac. CGH commits to

offering mentorship, strategic advice, travel support, event organizing and institutional backing to

selected groups.

Relight: A new support program for Global Health research groups at MedFac, named Research

ExceLlence and Innovation in Global HealTh (RELIGHT) with a focus on Global One Health,

Global Digital Health and Global Antimicrobial Resistance was launched in the fall of 2018 for

start-up in 2019.

The support for these upcoming, young research groups will include a strong level of

involvement in terms of mentoring, with a focus on grant writing. The program aims to foster

a stronger global health focus on those nationally already strong groups, link people and

groups into relevant research environments that can compete for the larger funding schemes.

Education

Nested within an academic environment, CGH is committed to developing and expanding Global Health education.

A week-long Global Health course for PhD candidates of MedFac was organised by Heidi Fjeld and Andrea Winkler in the spring of 2018, with several of the CGH network members as teachers. In addition, lectures on Global Health have been included in the introductory course of the PhD programme at MedFac and the Masters programme of International Community Health at HELSAM.

In order to increase engagement of students and staff interested and working on Global Health related projects, the PhD seminar for Oslo-based Global Health PhD candidates led by Johanne Sundby is meeting regularly- the Global Health Student Network. It offers candidates a platform to present their work, receive critical feedback, and discuss research administration, such as registration and ethics. It also offers opportunities to become engaged in other projects at the university, receive advice from experienced academics while creating a supportive environment of Global Health researchers.

The article series on Global Health in collaboration with CGH, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) and the Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association

22 articles have been published in the Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association from 26 June 2017 until 2 January 2018, profiling Global Health research in topics including infectious diseases, neglected tropical diseases, mother and child health, nutrition, health and the environment, health inequalities, migrant health, universal health coverage, health service delivery, health personnel training, health in conflict, Global Health financing and student involvement in Global Health. A selection of articles was published in a special edition as hard copy early 2018.

The Norwegian Research School of Global

Health CGH actively engages with the Norwegian Research School of Global Health (NRSGH; with Johanne Sundby as one of the board members) and participated in the PhD conference organised in April 2018 in Oslo. The NRSGH aims to strengthen the quality of post-graduate education and facilitate recruitment of young researchers in Global Health. Current partners of the NRSGH include the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the University of Tromsø, the University of Bergen, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and UiO. The research school also supports other PhD activities, and helps to finance PhD students to attend courses, national and international conferences.

The NORPART EXCEL SMART project

The NORPART EXCEL SMART project is a strategic academic collaboration between Jimma University, Ethiopia (JU) and UiO, funded by the Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education (SIU). The project is nested within CGH. The overall aim of the EXCEL SMART project is to enhance the quality of higher education in Ethiopia, and to expand and strengthen the academic cooperation between JU and UiO through student and academic staff exchange. In 2018, the EXCEL SMART project group and the leadership staff at JU and UiO worked closely to plan, set up and prepare the educational and academic activities in the program. EXCEL SMART assisted four PhD and two MPhil candidates in preparing their applications to UiO study programs, and granted four mobility scholarships to medical and Master students travelling to JU. They hosted one PhD candidate from JU in August who will work with Profs. Kristin Heggen and Eivind Engebretsen, UiO, on his PhD studies. EXCEL SMART also had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Legese Chelkeba, Dean of the Health Sciences Institute, JU and Gudina Terefe Tucho from Department of Environmental health science and Technology, JU at the 2nd Annual Jimma seminar at Tøyen Hovedgård. The seminar had speakers from JU and UiO presenting the plans for the new One-PhD programme at JU, as well as research portfolios and course work implemented at JU in collaboration with Norwegian Programme for Capacity Building in Higher Education and Research for Development (NORHED): Strategic And Collaborative Capacity Development in Ethiopia and Africa (SACCADE).

The EXCEL SMART project is finalizing a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) in How to Write a PhD Proposal led by Prof. Anne Moen. The MedFac granted additional funding to the development of the MOOC in 2018. It is developed in collaboration with colleagues from LINK – Centre for Learning, Innovation & Academic Development and UniMedia, and includes lectures with academic staff from JU and UiO. The MOOC will be launched in the beginning of 2019 on the FutureLearn platform where it will be available to forthcoming PhD students worldwide.

Communication

Communication is at the core of CGH. The focus for the communication activities in 2018 has been on reaching a broad audience of students, researchers and clinicians in Global Health via social media, webpages and organised events. We also actively outreach to potential funding mechanisms and the policy community. As part of the communication strategy and to ensure a professional and updated interface internally and externally, CGH is continuously enhancing and updating the UiO website and Facebook pages with reports and activities to serve the faculty, staff, students, alumni, partners and affiliates of CGH.

CGH organizes a range of seminars and conferences, some in collaboration with partners and individual researchers. Through our network activities, we strive to create meeting places for the Global Health community at large, enabling researchers and global health professionals to engage in dialogue, learn about new developments and link to policy makers.

Global Health Unpacked Series The Global Health Unpacked Series with the Centre for Development and the Environment (SUM)

offers a meeting place that has been welcomed by the Global Health researchers at UiO. The aim is to

bring together the Global Health community on a regular basis to critically discuss key debates in

Global Health through informal seminars. Guest speakers (both from the UiO and from other

universities) bring an original perspective to their topic and engage in a conversation with the

audience. Through this forum, CGH facilitates exchanges between Global Health researchers and

students present in Oslo, beneficial for fostering interdisciplinary research.

Women in Global Health Norway

CGH is a strong supporter of gender equity in leadership, especially in Global Health, where women

make up the majority of the workforce. There is global recognition that promoting women’s health is

a strategy to improve the health of populations and make progress towards the Sustainable

Development Agenda 2030.

CGH is taking the initiative in hosting the Norwegian chapter of Women in Global Health (WGH), a

platform for dialogue and collaboration that links the Centre and University to broader networks and

alternative funding sources.

The platform was launched on November 26th with a social and professional event, including a panel

debate with some of Norway’s most prominent women within Global Health and gender rights work.
