Global Delivery Group activities

Joint webinar with Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore

In May 2021, the Global Delivery Group supported a joint webinar between the UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc).

Professor Shervanthi Homer-Vanniasinkam, (Professor of Surgery and Engineering in UCL Mechanical Engineering, consultant vascular surgeon at Leeds Infirmary, and delivery group member) provided the opening remarks, detailing her perspective as a clinician-academic. 

Researchers from both institutions shared their work in this field of healthcare engineering, from nano-sensors to tissue regeneration. 

In November 2020, the Global Delivery Group organised a showcase of global healthcare engineering at UCL. The two-day, virtual event explored the importance of international partnerships, and practical ways of making these partnerships happen. UCL researchers provided case studies of succesful global collaboration, and we also heard from funders and UCL support teams that enable this to happen. 

Growing partnerships with India 2019-20

Over the past couple of years, in collaboration with UCL Global Engagement Office, we have been growing our partnership with colleagues in India, in particular the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Delhi.
