Imperial College London is a leading institution in public health education, research, and leadership. Since 2008, its WHO Collaborating Centre has offered Master of Public Health students a unique opportunity to visit WHO Headquarters. This initiative helps bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world global health practice.
In 2025, this initiative expands to include a visit to the WHO Academy in Lyon. The visit underscores the essential role of WHO Collaborating Centres in advancing the Organization’s mission and gives future public health leaders hands-on exposure to WHO’s innovative training environment.
