A Global Village, Imperial College's journal on international affairs, focuses on key areas where science meets politics and policy, profiling the work of Imperial faculty, graduates and students making a difference around the world, from global health to climate change and energy, food security and development. It offers insights for both policy-makers and the Imperial community, offering an alternative forum for an informed discussion of complex issues in an accessible format. We particularly emphasize the importance of bringing science policy to not only a wider audience but also to young scientists, allowing them to engage them with the important decision-making taking place at higher levels within the university and beyond.
