Collaboration with Australian National University

IU President Michael McRobbie led a university-wide delegation to Austalian National University (ANU) in in November 2018 which followed a visit to the IU School of Public Health-Bloomington by Dr. Archie Clements, the former head of the ANU Research School of Population Health. The two schools then created a collaborative agenda including a proposed joint population health symposium, co-supervision of graduate students, sharing of online materials, and bringing classes together virtually. Several joint research projects were proposed, including topics such as tropical diseases, morbidity and parasitic worms in South America; mortality related to tobacco use; epidemiological spatial analysis and disease mapping; and HIV and sexually-transmitted diseases and infections in the Asia Pacific region.
