Kicking off the ESSENCE Annual meeting of members with a clear message from the start: in today’s shifting global health landscape, alignment between funding, evidence, and country priorities is critical. Thanks @EDCTP3 for hosting us!

As President of @SARIMA20 you must be proud to see the increasing appreciation for the value of research management in the broader research ecosystem. Thank you for your kind words, Anna Matros-Goreses.
And thanks for welcoming me to your Namibia, the Land of the Brave!
Important discussion in support of our working group focused on implementation research - more work ahead!
I think we did it. Full house at #WCPH2026 for our session on implementation research. Thanks to everyone who helped crowdsource ideas, we'll be in touch. We talk a lot about the evidence gap, but the bigger challenge may be the evidence-to-practice gap.

Let me guess, you’ve never been part of a crowdsourced effort to shape a panel? Most certainly not in advance! At the @WFPHA_FMASP Congress in SA in early September, @ESSENCE_GROUP is hosting a panel on IR & public health.

We need your input - please fill out the survey!

2 full days. Packed. Fully engaged. No stone unturned. From funding flow investments, to impact of research to solidarity and equity. We will do better when together. We can. We must.
Thank you all who worked hard! @GarryAslanyan Nicolas, Lisanne, Lara, Montasser, Agustin, Claudia!

Call me Pollyannaish, but I believe it takes a coalition of the willing to tackle any challenge. 📸 Photo de famille of the ESSENCE initiative funding agencies & stakeholders from our meeting earlier this year is the proof we are determined. Notes: tdr.who.int/docs/librariespr…
