  1. Session F Research:Local and Global ChallengesChair: Ruxandra Draghia-AkliRapporteur: Andrew Green

  2. Session aims • Identify opportunities and benefits of strengthening scientific cooperation between the EU and the rest of the world • Analyse how to build and sustain capacity in the health sciences in low-middle income countries • Define how knowledge from comparative health systems research in Europe and in partnership with Europe, can advise policy makers around the world when reforming health systems

  3. Themes • Importance of research in responding to global health challenges • Importance of recognising changing context for research • Strengthening the current state of research in the health system • Empowering the key actors • Key recommendations to international partners

  4. Importance of research in global health challenges • Research is critical to improve decision-making at different levels within the health system • Operational level • Programme level • National policy and systems level • International and comparative • Importance of research synthesis and comparative research • Continued challenge of bridging research evidence/policy divide

  5. Importance of recognising (changing) context for research • Changing health patterns • Effects of wider determinants on health • Changing global research architecture • Changing set of actors including private sector in research • Future funding challenges • Failures in global health of science, governance, and markets

  6. Strengthening the current state of research in the health system • Levels of funding for research in low-middle income countries low: 10/90 gap • Within this, funding for health systems and policy research disproportionately low • Alongside need for research on technologies, there is need for research on systems (including governance and leadership) and public health • Recognition of contribution of multiple methods and disciplines in generating evidence • Need for greater local ownership of priority-setting in research • Values underpinning research: European plus

  7. Empowering the key actors • Capacity in low-middle income countries generally low with some key hotspots • Various strategies for enhancing or releasing capacity • Different levels: individual, institutional, system • Strengthening leadership • Different approaches to skills development • Need for core support to institutions over long-term • Ensuring non-dependence on Northern institutions • Importance of fostering research partnerships • Different models • S-S and S-S-N • Value-driven • Need for greater research co-ordination and coherence • Globally, regionally and nationally

  8. Key Recommendations to international partners • Increase investment in research and particularly in health systems research including governance and leadership, and public health • Invest in research capacity in developing countries • Core infrastructure • Recognise the need for long-term support • Ensure processes are friendly to emerging institutions • Foster collaboration including SSN
