Partnerships

We have extensive international collaborative networks throughout the world with some of the world's top-ranked universities. We also work with international organisations to make sure our work has global impact and significance.

Professor Stephen Colagiuri, a research theme leader at the Charles Perkins Centre, is also a co-director at the World Health Organisations Collaboration Centre on Physical Activity, Nutrition and Obesity. Stephen’s role across organisations ensures our centre’s alignment with international health targets and the international relevance of our research.

We run events throughout the year in conjunction with the World Health Organisation. These events are for clinicians, researchers, members of the public, and policy and decision makers.
