Submissions
A Global Village focuses on key areas where international policy and politics meet science and engineering - it is a voice for faculty, graduates and students making a difference around the world, from global health to climate change and energy, food security and development.
Submissions are invited from students, graduates and faculty from Imperial College and affiliated universities, organisations and enterprises and to be sent to
aglobalvillage@imperial.ac.uk.
The focus areas for the upcoming issue will be:
Health Financing

Materials.
Submission deadines:
June 1: short abstract
July 1: final deadline
Approximately one week after submission, comments will be communicated back to the author. A second draft (if requested) should then be submitted within 10 days of receipt of comments.
All submissions should have a word-count between 1000-2500 words and include an introductory paragraph and short biography. It is possible for us to include a limited number of citations but citations are not required. Accompanying photographs/images are also welcome although we cannot guarantee they will be used.
For more specific information on the type of piece we are looking for please read the relevant section below and refer to previous issues for an idea of the tone/style of A Global Village.
Established members of faculty and young researchers from both Imperial College and international universities are invited to write pieces rooted in policy and politics related to their field of research.
Recent Graduates
We are particularly interested to hear from recent graduates of Imperial College and other universities who are now working both at a national and international level in policy and politics for science-related issues.
Maybe you would like to challenge the scientific community to answer some of the questions your organisation/employer tackles everyday?
Both undergraduate and graduate students are invited to submit pieces on topics related to policy and politics particularly those with a scientific connection. We specifically urge contributors to write in fields they have first-hand knowledge of.
For example, if you undertook a project in bringing innovative disease-transmission-prevention methods to the developing world, you could put the project within an appropriate societal, governmental and regional context exploring key factors impacting on the success of the project and the field as a whole within that region.
