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!

[Dr Garry Aslanyan @GarryAslanyan]

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!

[Dr Garry Aslanyan @GarryAslanyan]

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.

[Dr Garry Aslanyan @GarryAslanyan]

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.

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: https://t.co/JVfc0ApvMS
