FHS to co-organise ResUp MeetUp Symposium and Training Exchange
Future Health Systems
In early November 2013, the ResUp MeetUp will convene in Nairobi, Kenya, for a Symposium and Training Exchange. The aim of the Symposium is to explore emerging issues within and develop a deeper understanding of the evolving concept of ‘research uptake. It will likely include a mix of individual presentations, focused discussions, participatory debates, and keynote speeches. The Training Exchange will centre around a range of skills associated with research uptake activities. The training sessions will vary in duration, and attendees will be able to choose which sessions to attend. The trainings will be provided by a mix of relevant individuals or organisations for a set fee of ' training tokens'. Tokens can either be earned through delivering a training (which is why it is considered a training exchange!) or purchased for US$25 each. The initiative sprang from the policy influence and research uptake (PIRU) strand of work within the Future Health Systems consortium.
