Asian Regional Capacity Development for Research on Social Determinants of Health

Agency : Karolinska Institute, Sweden

The project was coordinated by Karolinska Institute in Sweden, involving twelve partners across Europe, Asia and Africa including IIHMR. These four-year projects (2011-2015) were funded by the European Commission’s 7th Framework Program. The ARCADE project used innovative educational technologies to strengthen health research across Asia. Focusing on post-graduate, doctoral and post- doctoral training, partner institutions that are developing cutting-edge online courses, blended with learning modules and joint programs that will enable training of researchers in low- and middle-income countries who might not otherwise have access to such material. Under this project, IIHMR has produced a self-learning module on “Climate, Society and Health” for prospective PhD students in developing countries. Two modules on “Health and Development” and “Behaviour Change and Communication for Health Researchers” developed are also being used as a resource material for the PhD students of IIHMR University.
