Global Health Academy


Thank you all for attending the 2026 Global Health Conference, a gathering designed to spark new ideas and strengthen global connections. Health professionals, educators, and partners from around the world came together in Southbury, Connecticut, USA, to explore the 2026 theme:
From Partnership to Practice: Shaping the Future of Education in Global Health — learning with, led by, and for our global collaborators.
Conference photos are now available. You may view the photo galleries using the link below.
The Science Summit 2026, held alongside the 81st United Nations General Assembly, brought together the global scientific community to explore the critical role of science in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030.
We are honored that the Global Health Academy contributed two sessions to the 2026 Science Summit, bringing together experts and partners from across our global network to share perspectives, experiences, and locally driven solutions.
Participation was open to our colleagues, partners, students, and broader global health community. Advance registration was required. If you are interested in viewing these conversations next year, we will be share information on our website and in our newsletter (2027).
We thank you again for your participation and for helping us represent our Global Health Academy community at the UNGA Science Summit 2026!
