Inspired by the centennial of the 1918 influenza pandemic, the Harvard Global Health Institute (HGHI) hosted Outbreak Week in September 2018 at Harvard University. The week-long conference brought leading researchers, policy makers, health advocates, economists, doctors, journalists, historians and other experts together to take a fresh, multidisciplinary look at infectious disease outbreaks and global pandemic preparedness.

HGHI has just launched a new website after Outbreak Week 2018 that contains videos, summaries, Twitter conversations, and other materials related to the event. Moving forward the hope is that this site will serve as a platform for continued learning, dialogue, and community building in epidemic and pandemic preparedness.
