OpenWHO.org Call for Abstracts

Published on February 16, 2023

The World Health Organization’s open-access learning platform OpenWHO.org is issuing a call for abstracts to identify how their learning content is used in local, national and regional contexts, and adapted for use outside the platform. 

They are particularly interested in capturing how materials have been used in workforce training and emergencies, as well as in capacity-building contexts, to prepare for or respond to disease outbreaks or health events. Abstracts that are accepted will be invited to be made into posters to be delivered at an online exhibition in July 2023. 

We especially encourage participants of Boost’s Discover Your Leadership Moment OpenWHO course to apply and share how you've incorporated course learnings into your work.

All submissions are due by 15 March 2023. Click here to learn more, review abstract submission guidelines, and submit your 150-250 word abstract.
