The 11th Healthier Future Forum took place on Thursday 31 March 2011 at Glasgow Science Centre. Taking the focus of 'a resilient Glasgow', this event presented indicators of progress and drew upon newly developed conceptual models to improve understanding about Glasgow's health. Delegates were encouraged to think about Glasgow's past, its present and its future and what might be the key components of a more resilient city.

In the eighth session of the Symposium, Professor Carol Tannahill, Director of the Glasgow Centre for Population Health (GCPH) presents a brief review of the entire Seminar Series which started in 2004. She talks about different lectures within the Series and the unique perspective these provide especially in relation to health. In this session, Professor Tannahill draws out two sets of issues, the first relates to the context in which we are living and working, the second set relates to some direct implications for the Centre’s work. Developed in collaboration with the International Futures Forum, the Seminar Series was one of the first outputs delivered by the newly established GCPH. The first Seminar was delivered in December 2004 by A.C. Grayling, the latest in February 2013 by Professor James Curran which represented the 50th Lecture in the ninth Series. Between 2004 and 2013, presenters have included economists, geographers, historians, meteorologists, public health academics and other academics, youth workers, representatives from the creative industries, campaigners and others.

The first meeting of Glasgow's Healthier Future Forum took place on 15 June 2005 in St Andrew's in the Square, Glasgow. The Forum was a half-day, round table event consisting of short inputs influenced by ideas emerging from the Centre's first year of work. Presentations were interspersed with discussion amongst the 160 participants, focusing on the usefulness of the ideas to practice.
