GOAL: To examine the changing landscape of public health research from across perspectives in health sciences, design, and engineering.  This work is being supported by the IPH Technology and Health working group. The event is intentionally targeting breadth of topics over depth, to help the UC San Diego and broader San Diego community to see the forest from the trees related to this important topic.

AUDIENCE:  We welcome all relevant parties in the San Diego area to join usincluding:

• Our academic colleagues (e.g., UC San Diego, San Diego State University, etc) with a vested interest in the new School of Public Health including public health, design, engineering, arts, and humanities faculty and students.
• Business/industry colleagues who could benefit from the research that emerges, and/or the future workforce we will be training at the intersection between public health and design and engineering (e.g., public health and design; public health and data science professionals)
• Government, non-profit colleagues interested in hearing more about the future of public health research and how we might be able to help them.
• Local San Diego philanthropic groups interested in supporting this vision.
