On October 20, 2020, Tsinghua University’s Vanke School of Public Health  set up its first international advisory board (IAB), to bring great minds together and seek academic and other scientific and technical input for the further development of the recently-established school as well as for China’s public health sector.

It is composed of 34 well-known experts and scholars from 12 countries around the world, including deans of world-famous public health schools, leaders of non-governmental organizations, public health sector leaders, and outstanding entrepreneurs.

To transform the school into a world-class public health school, the IAB is expected to give forward-looking guidance and suggestions for the school’s scientific research, talent nurturing, social services, international cooperation and exchange, and to help expand its global presence.
