University of Oxford

General:

The Oxford Global Health initiative brings together researchers from diverse disciplines and showcases the ongoing range of impactful global health research at the University of Oxford.

Role in Photoboost

UOX will lead the social sciences and public engagement work package, including the deployment of a qualitative collaborative systems approach developed by Dr Fuller, to explore key stakeholder opinions on the development of policy for biotech crops in the EU and LMICs. SGHMS will also develop a targeted communication plan for the dissemination of information about project activities to non-scientists.
