The University of Exeter has entered into a formal partnership with EUGLOH (the European University Alliance for Global Health), demonstrating shared commitment to advancing breakthroughs in global health to create a healthier, more resilient world.
EUGLOH leverages the collective multidisciplinary strengths in education, research, innovation, and service to society of nine - soon to be ten – distinguished European universities to tackle both current and future global health challenges. These challenges encompass human, animal, plant, and environmental health alongside the social, cultural, economic, and ecological factors that influence them.
Exeter's formal recognition as an affiliated partner of the Alliance builds on the University's close collaboration with EUGLOH over recent years. It recognises the mutual ambition to strengthen scientific cooperation and educational outreach on a global scale.
The University of Exeter will contribute its significant and world-leading global health expertise to enrich, diversify and further advance the Alliance's educational, research and innovation initiatives, benefitting Alliance members' students, and opening up exciting new opportunities for Exeter's academic staff to engage in EUGLOH's academic programmes and impactful research collaborations.
Professor Lisa Roberts, President and Vice Chancellor of the University of Exeter said: "We are proud to formalise our partnership with EUGLOH and strengthen our contribution to this ambitious European alliance. Global health challenges are among the most pressing issues facing society today and require collaborative, interdisciplinary approaches that transcend borders.
"By working together with EUGLOH's exceptional network of universities, we can expand opportunities for our students and researchers, accelerate innovation, and deepen our collective impact in addressing complex health challenges for the benefit of communities around the world."
Professor Richard Follett, Vice-President for Global Engagement at Exeter, added: "Strengthening Exeter's partnership with EUGLOH is an exciting development. It will bring new opportunities for interdisciplinary research collaboration, helping to foster a truly global perspective for students and academics alike, and helping us to work together towards a healthier future world."
Pr. Delphine Placidi-Frot, Vice-President for International and European Relations at Université Paris-Saclay (EUGLOH 2.0 Coordinating University) said: "We are delighted to celebrate EUGLOH's collaboration with the University of Exeter. Their strong international outlook and recognised expertise across research, education and innovation will bring valuable contributions to the Alliance's mission of addressing global health challenges through interdisciplinary European and international cooperation."
