WHO Global Evidence-to-Policy Summit
It takes on average 17 years for applied health research to translate into policies, products, or technologies. This lack of speed costs the global economy millions of dollars and has an untold impact on lives. The second Global Evidence-to-Policy Summit Summit will allow stakeholders to exchange best practices, examples, and innovation — to try to close the gap between research and implementation.
Sessions will feature interactive discussions about enhancing public trust in science, the role of cross-evidence ecosystem collaboration, institutionalizing evidence use and the potential use of AI and Foresight to facilitate evidence to policy translation.
The Summit is a free and fully virtual event. Register here. [https://www.who.int/initiatives/evidence-informed-policy-network/e2pmeeting2023#:~:text=The%20WHO%20Global%20E2P%20Summit%202023%2C%20scheduled%20for%2029th%20to,and%20bridging%20the%20E2P%20gap.]
