The theme of this year’s 17th annual Otago Global Health Institute (OGHI) Conference is: Global health in challenging times.

Join us to discuss the latest developments in global health research as we confront the most pressing health challenges of our time amid a rapidly shifting global political landscape. This event brings together leading and emerging researchers, practitioners, and advocates to explore innovative evidence-based solutions to global health issues.

In an era where geopolitical tensions, funding uncertainties, and misinformation threaten scientific collaboration and progress, as well as the day-to-day health and security of millions of people around the world, this conference serves as a vital forum for jointly charting a path forward.

Held in conjunction with the conference is the 2025 McAuley Oration, a free public lecture.

Whether you are working, researching, or just exploring the field of global health, we look forward to welcoming you to the 2025 OGHI conference to share your research, hear from other researchers, discuss projects, and foster new partnerships.

Abstract submission deadline: 5pm NZST, 15 September 2025
Registration deadline: 11 November 2025
