Building a global community of research, policy and practice 

The International Death Literacy Network brings together researchers, clinicians, educators, policymakers, health services and community organisations working to improve death literacy around the world. 

The Network exists to foster collaboration, strengthen research quality, support translation into policy and practice, and create opportunities for emerging researchers. We conduct an annual symposium bringing together research, practice and policy. It is a supportive event, promoting and supporting early career researchers and practitioners.

Convenors - Kerrie Noonan (Australia), Steven Vanderstichelen (Belgium), Libby Sallnow (UK)
