Giulia Facci

Giulia is a registered nurse and holds a Master's in Global Health from Maastricht University, The Netherlands (2020), with a minor in Public Health from Manipal Academy of Higher Education, India. She joined CRIMEDIM in 2023 as a research fellow on a funded project on migrant women's health, and in late 2024 started CRIMEDIM's international PhD course. Her doctoral research explores how climate-related extreme weather events affect health systems and how to strengthen health systems’ disaster preparedness.

At CRIMEDIM, she is also actively involved in MOUNTADAPT, an European HORIZON funded project on healthcare resilience and climate adaptation in mountain contexts, contributing to both research and training activities. Through this work she has developed an interest in mountains as socio-ecological systems and as contexts particularly vulnerable to climate change.

Her methodological experience spans qualitative and quantitative approaches, with a growing interest in geospatial analysis, participatory and co-creation methods, and systems thinking frameworks.

Before joining CRIMEDIM, she worked in clinical research as a nurse researcher and research assistant in clinical trials, and as a research fellow in a nurse-led sexual health clinic on a project evaluating an integrated multidisciplinary model of prevention and care. She also gained experience in digital health, working as a nurse navigator in the field of women's health.
