The Global Issues Convention brings together the members of twenty projects within the funding program "Global Issues – Integrating Different Perspectives", consisting of the three funding initiatives ‘Preventing Pandemics: the Role of Human-Environmental Interactions’, ‘Mobility – Global Medicine and Health Research’ and ‘Integrating Different Perspectives on Heritage and Change’.  The aim of the convention is to facilitate academic exchange, to foster networking across the projects, to enable exchange with the six participating European foundations and to discuss overarching topics such as interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity and North-South-Collaborations. In addition to project presentations and keynotes speeches, various workshops will be held to reflect on learnings and to discuss open questions from the projects. The workshops will be led by researchers from the project teams.
