Translational research which bridges the gap between basic scientific discoveries and their real-world application, has become increasingly vital in addressing global challenges. Funders play an important role in driving impactful translational research outcomes. How can funders support and promote cross-disciplinary translational research in a global context? What are the best practices and lessons learned from existing funding schemes and initiatives? What are the emerging opportunities and needs for translational research?
Co-organized by the European Infrastructure of Translational Medicine (EATRIS), European Alliance for Social Sciences and Humanities (EASSH), and Taylor & Francis, we will bring research funding and performing organizations across continents (EU, UK, US) to share how they support effective knowledge translation and how we could do it better globally. Our panel of experts include:
- Dr Joni Rutter, Director of National Centre for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), NIH
- Dr Anji Miller, Senior Business Manager, LifeArc
- Dr Alicia Greated, Executive Director, Campaign for Science & Engineering (CaSE)
- Dr Nikos Kastrinos, former European Commission official for Foresight in the Directorate General for Research and Innovation
The session will be chaired by Anton Ussi, Operations and Finance Director at EATRIS.
Join this webinar to exchange views and best practices with experts from international funding agencies and research organizations.
