UCL Health of the Public Communities

In September 2020, UCL Health of the Public launched an academic communities scheme to encourage dynamic and innovative leaders to proactively develop themes that bring together new research communities.

These academic communities will act as a catalyst to increase UCL’s cross-disciplinary public health research capacity. They will involve disciplines that would not usually be considered to be within the public health field, and encourage innovative perspectives in research and education to ensure a healthy future for all.

Climate Change and Health

Our Climate Change and Health Community brings together researchers from across UCL whose work focuses on understanding the links between climate change and human health.

Creative Health

UCL Health of the Public's Creative Health Community will bring together researchers from across UCL whose work focuses on health creation and understanding creative approaches to reducing health disparities.

Health Inequalities

Exciting and new research and innovations tackling health inequalities is taking place across UCL, with researchers designing and implementing interventions, and informing policies to address health inequity from different disciplinary perspectives, beyond population health. This community aims to bring those disciplines together to act and ensure healthy lives for all.

Urban Health Community

Our Urban Health Community brings together researchers from across UCL whose work focuses on understanding the impacts of the urban environment on human health, and how best to reduce health inequalities and improve health in urban areas.
