The announcement below is forwarded from The Global Health Network. https://tghn.org/ - a HIFA supporting organisation with over 1 million members, mostly health researchers.
One of its aims is: To drive equity in who takes part and who benefits from health research by enabling the open movement of health research information, data and know-how between diseases areas, regions, organisations and communities.
I have written to them to invite their participation in our discussion.

From Evidence to Impact: Launch of the Research into Policy Toolkit
Date & time: 13 November 2025 | 13:00–14:30 UTC
Turning research into real-world impact is a shared goal - but it is not always straightforward. While significant progress has been made in clinical research on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, opportunities remain to strengthen how evidence informs policy and practice.
Challenges such as limited collaboration between researchers and policymakers, differences in working environments, and the need to tailor global evidence to local contexts can slow this process. But solutions are emerging.
The European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) and The Global Health Network have developed a new open-access Research into Policy toolkit on the EDCTP Knowledge Hub.
Join this launch event to explore how this practical resource supports researchers, policymakers, and health leaders to work together so that evidence leads to real-world impact.
