Following the success of the 2025 Winter School, the CoRE-MH is this year running a Spring School in October 2026, organised by the African Centre for Migration & Society (ACMS) at Wits University. The Spring School involves a range of collaborations with institutional and research project partners.
The Spring School focuses on researching migration and health with this year’s theme being: knowledge production, translation and evidence-informed policy making in the field of migration and health.
The School involves panel discussions and debates with leading experts to explore the opportunities and challenges associated with the application of evidence to inform policy making in the field of migration and health. Participants will also engage in a small group project.
