The 2025 Joep Lange Chair & Fellows Symposium will take place on 12 November at De Balie in Amsterdam. Hosted by the Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development and Joep Lange Institute, this annual event features leading practitioners and thinkers reflecting on a theme at various intersections of global health and development.
The theme for 2025 is “Back to the Future: Systems, Societies, Solutions”. With this topic, the scientific committee wishes to explore how the global health field might reclaim and reimagine progress when many hard-won gains risk being lost.
The conversation will be framed across three interconnected dimensions:
Systems: governance, regulation, and financing for health
Societies: ethics, equity, and citizen agency
Solutions: technologies and scientific breakthrough
Together, these lenses will help practitioners ask: How can the world find its way back to a sustainable and just future for global health?
The speakers and further details will be announced soon.
