2026 IC4CH SYMPOSIUM
Bridging Traditions, Building Futures: Connecting Health Communication Research Across Asia-Pacific and Other Contexts
We are thrilled to announce that the Research and Impact Initiative on Communication in Healthcare at the University of Hong Kong (HKU RIICH) will host the next conference of the International Consortium for Communication in Health Care (IC4CH). IC4CH is an international group of academic researchers from the University of Hong Kong, Australian National University, Nanyang Technological University, Lancaster University, University College London, Queensland University of Technology, University of the Witwatersrand, and the Harvard Medical School. The group undertakes collaborative, cutting-edge, and interdisciplinary research on health communication.
We seek to bring together health communication research from around the world, as well as particularly highlighting those studies being conducted in the Asia-Pacific region. Another aim of the conference is to examine health communication in different technological contexts, whether that be in regard to artificial intelligence, video-mediated consultations, or the introduction of novel technologies into healthcare practice.
The annual conference will be held at the University of Hong Kong from 3 to 4 December 2026. Please mark your diaries now to avoid missing out!
