About Us

Established in 2004, the TCGH is an interdisciplinary centre co-located across the Schools of Medicine and Psychology. Comprised of a committed team of multidisciplinary academic, adjunct, and administrative staff, research fellows and assistants, and postgraduate students, our vision is to generate impactful knowledge through high quality, multidisciplinary research and teaching, while contributing to a world in which the health and well being of all at all ages is realised.

The TCGH strives to achieve this vision through two overarching goals: (i) To conduct multidisciplinary and collaborative research, emphasising a gender-transformative approach to global health while prioritising knowledge transfer and evidence-to-policy-and-practice partnerships, and (ii) To provide students with high-quality, multidisciplinary, post-graduate programmes that build their capacity to contribute to the promotion and delivery of equitable health systems in their countries of origin and globally, while supporting every student to impact upon the international programme for sustainable development, 2030.

In emphasising a collaborative approach towards achieving equitable access to safe and effective health services for all, the TCGH further embodies Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin’s vision of a globally connected community of learning, research, and scholarship, inspiring generations to meet the challenges of the future.
