Events

The Stanford Center for Human and Planetary Health builds community and convenes experts by hosting curated events on a variety of topics, where inspiring leaders engage with students, faculty, and partners. These events are designed to foster interdisciplinary connections, inspire the next generation of change-makers, and educate our community on topics at the intersection of health and the environment. By sharing knowledge, solutions and innovations, we aim to create a collaborative space that drives meaningful change and impact.
