Global Health Day, hosted by the Robert J. Havey, MD Institute for Global Health, is an exciting opportunity to draw together global health researchers, educators and students to celebrate and discover more about global health research, education and outreach efforts throughout Northwestern, Chicago and beyond. This year's event will be held in-person on Wednesday, November 19th and will include a poster session, keynote address and more.

Internal and external students, faculty, community members and partners from all disciplines are welcome to participate and apply to present posters on projects relevant to global health.  

The deadline to submit abstracts is Wednesday, September 24th, 5:00 pm CST. Abstracts should be no more than 500 words.

Student presenters who choose to work in groups should only submit one abstract per group. If you have a mentor, obtaining their guidance early in the abstract preparation process is highly encouraged. Presenters, or a representative, must be available to present their work in-person at Global Health Day on Wednesday, November 19th, 2025.

The Poster Session will take place in the Ryan Family Atrium in the Lurie Medical Research Center (303 E Superior Street, Chicago, IL 60611). All accepted applicants will receive more details about the presentation format, presenter expectations and poster guidelines.

On the following page you will be prompted to submit details about yourself and your co-authors (if applicable), as well as enter your abstract. If you are submitting on behalf of your group but will not be presenting, please make sure to list the presenter's information or note that you will confirm the presenter's information at a later time.
