The Rapid Urbanisation and Population Health (RUPH) Research Network explores urban health and environmental issues and support building of transdisciplinary, cross-faculty, research capacity among UNSW academics conducting research in Australia, Asia and the Western Pacific regions.
The Rapid Urbanisation and Population Health (RUPH) Research Network explores urban health and environmental issues and support building of transdisciplinary, cross-faculty, research capacity among UNSW academics conducting research in Australia, Asia and the Western Pacific regions. It is a partnership between the UNSW Institute for Global Development, UNSW Grand Challenges and UNSW Medicine.
The research network aims to build new capacities for consequential and policy-relevant research by generating knowledge sharing and collaboration opportunities, as well as connecting early and mid-career researchers to senior academic mentors and established multi-institutional research entities.
The Network also hosts webinars across a variety of topics. The webinar series is developed to provide members of the RUPH community as well as people interested in urbanisation, public health and city planning with a platform to meet, connect and engage with like-minded academics and industry representatives.
The RUPH Research Network is open to all UNSW researchers, interested in urban health and environment and especially encourages early-to-mid career academics to get involved. If you would like to stay up to date with RUPH's work, consider joining as a member via the link below.
For enquiries, please email Associate Professor Xiaoqi Feng (xiaoqi.feng@unsw.edu.au).
The RUPH Network was previously supported by UNSW Grand Challenges. The IGD recognises the contribution of the UNSW Grand Challenge on Rapid Urbanisation in supporting this work.
