Kick-off Meeting of the COST-Action ‘The Great Leap’

The network coordinators of the COST-Action initiative ‘The Great Leap. Multidisciplinary approaches to health inequalities, 1800-2022’, led by Radboud University, invite all stakeholders and all those interested to join the (hybrid) kick-off meeting of this initiative on 2 May 2024.

‘The Great Leap’ has been selected by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) to undertake a comprehensive exploration of the historical origins and driving factors behind health inequalities across regions and countries in Europe and beyond. The network connected to ‘The Great Leap’ includes a wide range of academic expertise in history, social sciences, life sciences and epidemiology and involves university-, research-, government- and (international) health institutes and organizations, including statistical offices and national archives. Aim of ‘The Great Leap’ is to foster collaboration, share insights, and catalyse action in addressing pressing health disparities through providing a historical long-term perspective via five consecutive subprojects.

Attending the kick-off meeting is open to all interested, but prior registration is requested. You can register by e-mail via Dr Marieke van Egeraat at Radboud University.
