The Centres for Climate and Environment and the Centres for Health and Pandemic Preparedness had mainly separate conferences taking place simultaneously and with common parts. The Conferences had the following titles:

1. Conference of the Centres for Climate and Environment: "Imaginaries of Climate Futures - Cross Regional Insights to get from Knowledge to Action" and
2. Conference of the Centres for Health and Pandemic Prevention: "Global Actions for Sustainable Health for People and Planet"

The aim of the conferences was fostering the networks of the Centres and similar initiatives, and to offer a global, interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge in the two subject areas of Global Health/Pandemic Prevention and Climate/Environment. The conference was dedicated to PhD students, Postdocs, junior and senior academics as well as research-active practitioners related to one of the DAAD-funded Global Centres and their partner networks, or from other DAAD-funded projects working in the field of climate and environment / health and pandemic prevention as well as the Humboldt Research Hubs (AvH). 

DAAD launched a call for proposals to this conference to offer an opportunity for senior scientists, researchers, and young investigators and PhD students from different projects to present ongoing and/or planned research projects and/or their findings to a wider global audience. Active participants got funded for accomodation and travel.

Our plan is having the same procedure for 2026!
