Harvard Humanitarian Initiative Virtual Open House for Harvard Schools and Teaching Hospitals

Please join the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI) on September 12, 2024, at 10 am ET for a virtual showcase of our global work to improve the lives of communities in humanitarian crises. HHI is a university-wide academic and research center in humanitarian crisis and leadership supported by Harvard University’s Office of the Provost. Based at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Department of Global Health and Population and affiliated with Brigham and Women’s Hospital Emergency Medicine Department, HHI collaborates closely with faculty and students throughout all Harvard Schools and Teaching Hospitals.

We aim to create new knowledge and advance evidence-based leadership in disasters and humanitarian crises through two main areas: the Humanitarian Academy at Harvard and Research & Translation. Our Humanitarian Academy produces a variety of online and in-person trainings designed to prepare students, practitioners, and emerging leaders to succeed in the humanitarian field. Our global research programs explore topics critical to communities affected by crises, such as infectious diseases and epidemics, disaster preparedness, gender-based violence, and the ethical use of data in humanitarian settings.

During this open house, participants will learn more about our global research and educational programs and how to get involved in our work.

This event is limited to members of Harvard Schools and Teaching Hospitals. Please register using your @harvard.edu email address. Questions? Email hhi@harvard.edu
