Areas of mutual interest Professor Fidler comments: "The goal of the work of the Globalĭevelopment Hub is to develop and support cross faculty and international partnerships with least-developed countries (LDCs) and lower-middle income countries (LMICs). The Hub is led by co-Chairs Professor Sarah Fidler (Department of Infectious Disease) and Professor Michael Templeton (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering) while Clare Turner, from Imperial's International Relations Office, serves as the Hub's operational lead. Launched in 2021, the Hub co-creates new networks and partnerships to influence policy and engage with governments, UN and other multilateral agencies, foundations, industry and NGOs. The Global Development Hub is a central pillar of Imperial's academic strategy, leveraging research and education expertise in science, technology, medicine, and business to impact on sustainable development challenges.
