The AMREP Global Health Forum is an annual event held on World Health Day (7 April) that aims to bring together students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers from academia, research institutes, government agencies and NGOs, to exchange ideas and discuss relevant current issues pertaining to global health.

The theme for this year's AMREP Global Health Forum is 'Global Health and Global Crises'.

This Forum is organised by partners of the AMREP Global Health Research Consortium, which includes Monash University, Burnet Institute, Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute and the Alfred Hospital.

Monash University presents a forum devoted to collaboration opportunities with Europe, to mark the launch of the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute and the establishment of EMBL Australia.

The university will host an afternoon of sessions devoted to bilateral and Europe-wide collaboration opportunities for Australian university researchers and educators. Discussions will focus on European opportunities including the Framework Program and the Marie Curie Schemes, Australian schemes that support interaction with Europe and presentations on bilateral cooperation opportunities and schemes.

Speakers include representatives of the Forum for European-Australian Science and Technology Cooperation (FEAST), European diplomatic missions and education agencies.
