On 15 May 2020, ASPHER met with representatives around the World to launch the Global Network for Academic Public Health! Now more than ever it is clear that we must come together globally to address the complex challenges to the health of our populations and planet. 

After the Panel Discussion during the ASPHER Virtual Deans’ & DIrectors’ Retreat event on 2 June the Network has been advancing on this global governance initiative. Key partners include ASPHER, Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH); Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health (APACPH); Association of Schools of Public Health in Africa (ASPHA); South-East Asia Public Health Education Institutes Network (SEAPHEIN); Latin American Alliance for Global Health (ALASAG); and Arab Public Health Association (ArPHA).
