Global Social Policy Hub

Global Social Policy Hub aims to strengthen existing Global Health and Social Policy research group and its dimension of social policy. The Center systematically brings together the key intellectual resources of global social policy found through a single site. The hub fosters opportunities for innovative research and forms a solid knowledge platform for international social policy practice and education

The Hub organized a workshop called The Futures of Global Social Policy on 30th May.
