2024 Team Science Summit
Collaborations at the Intersection of Climate and Health
Mark your calendars for the upcoming 2024 Team Science Summit: Collaborations at the Intersection of Climate and Health, an interdisciplinary symposium on climate change-induced health risks.
Understanding and responding to the complex threats to health posed by climate change calls for collaboration across disciplines and communities. Join us for a day of presentations, discussions, and networking hosted by Tufts CTSI and the Tufts University Office of the Vice Provost for Research. The event will showcase ongoing and emerging work in multiple departments and centers across CTSI partner institutions.
Team Science Summits are meant to increase awareness of translational research and opportunities for collaboration across scientific, engineering, and clinical research communities. To maximize knowledge exchange and opportunities for conversation, the program will include lightening talks on current projects or capabilities, panel discussions on cross-cutting issues, networking opportunities, and poster presentations.
