The Forum at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is a live webcasting series that provides decision-makers with a global platform to discuss policy choices and scientific controversies across the world. Through collaboration with major media outlets, including The Boston GlobeThe Huffington PostNOVANPR, PRI’s “The World” and WGBH, and Reuters, the Forum facilitates discussion with expert panelists, and aims to bridge the gap between science and policy decision-making for the pressing health issues that affect populations worldwide. The Incubator regularly partners with the Forum to offer in-depth resource collections on priority topics in concert with recent webcasts, such as events focused on polio eradication and the intersection of racism and health in the United States. The Forum’s webcast videos are archived on its website along with related articles and resources. 

The Forum is an initiative of the Division of Policy Translation and Leadership Development at the Chan School, which seeks to bridge the communication gap between researchers and the policymakers and nonprofit leaders who influence public health reform. The Division offers programs and resources for diverse audiences to enhance global and national leadership, to transform communication, and to improve emergency preparedness and response. The Division is home to The Leadership Studio, a state-of-the-art webcasting and videoconferencing facility, which hosts several media-based programs including The Forum and the Voices in Leadership series, which focuses on leadership education by connecting high-profile leaders with the school’s students, faculty, and broader community across the globe.
