About this Event
Launch symposium for the Research Network of Critical Social Science of Pharmaceuticals at the Intersection of Global Health and Science, Technology, and Society - PharmaGHaSTS (University of Paris Cité and King’s College London)
March 12th will mark the launch of the PharmaGHaSTS network. This research network brings together critical social science researchers studying pharmaceutical products and related technologies, including diagnostic tools and vaccines, at the intersection of global health, science, technology and society (STS).
During the opening event, we will initiate an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral dialogue on pharmaceutical production, exploring two alternative models : public vaccine production in Brazil and the collective initiative to produce medicines as common goods in France.
Funded by Université Paris Cité and King’s College London, the network aims to encourage social science research and facilitate dialogue with non-academic stakeholders to address the shortcomings of the current system, which fails to meet the needs of the majority of the global population. The network will also explore alternative models of pharmaceutical research, development and manufacturing that can promote health equity and justice.
