Geneva Health Forum - Grand Jet d’Or de Genève: appel à projets 2022
The Geneva Health Forum launches the Grand Jet d’Or de Genève Award in partnership with Axa
The Geneva Health Forum (GHF) brings together all the actors concerned around major global health issues. It gives a voice to actors from the field and connects them to political decision-makers present in Geneva. It gives visibility to innovative, accessible and sustainable practices and tools and to important initiatives. Over the course of its editions, the GHF has become an essential event in its field.
For its ninth edition, which will happen from 3rd to 5th May 2022, the Geneva Health Forum will address crucial issues for our future. Under the theme “Covid-19 Pandemic and Environmental Emergency: Reinventing Global Health in Times of Global Changes”, the GHF will help us learn the lessons from the Covid-19 crisis and better understand the impact of environmental degradation on human health.
Indeed, the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted our fragility as societies in the face of zoonoses, diseases that appear in the animal world and that can spread to human beings. Biodiversity loss and fragile ecosystems are factors that worsen this risk. Pollution and climate change are already having an impact on our health.
One thing is clear: our health is intrinsically linked to the health of the environment and global health must be revisited in the light of these implications.
These new challenges are crucial for our common future and they question our concepts and our practices. The reflections that are taking place around the notions of “One Health” or “Planetary Health” offer new avenues that global health can no longer neglect.
It is in this context that the Geneva Health Forum is launching the Grand Jet d’Or de Genève Award in partnership with Axa.
This Award, carrying a prize of CHF 50’000, is intended to support a team wishing to develop a research or an implementation in the field of One Health or Planetary Health.
The objective of this team should be to improve health with a One Health or Planetary Health approach. The proposed lines of research must demonstrate their potential to change health practices.
Teams working in a multidisciplinary way and exploring innovative practices or tools will be privileged. Candidates must demonstrate their ability to carry out the suggested research projects.
Applications must be submitted online in French or English before 4 April midnight.
The 5 best applications will be selected by a Scientific Committee and then submitted to the vote of the Programme Committee (representatives of GHF partner organizations) to choose the winner.
The research group winning the Grand Jet d’Or de Genève Award will be announced on Thursday 5 May 2022 during the closing ceremony of the Geneva Health Forum, a ceremony to which it will be invited.
