SUMMARY:KEystone Conversation #2: Knowledge transfer out of the lab: Facilitating the uptake of research evidence in clinical practice
DESCRIPTION:Date: September 17\, 2026 \nTime: 12:30 p.m. ET to 1:45 p.m. ET \nMoving women’s health research into clinical practice or policy changes is not a simple or linear process. Once evidence has been generated\, the next challenge is ensuring it is adopted\, implemented and sustained in real-world settings. This requires collaboration among researchers\, clinicians\, patients\, communities\, decision-makers and other knowledge users. This KEystone Conversation will explore the opportunities\, challenges and responsibilities involved in translating women’s health research beyond the lab and into practice. Participants will reflect on how evidence is generated\, interpreted\, prioritized\, communicated and ultimately implemented to inform action. \nThrough a panel discussion followed by lightly facilitated breakout conversations\, participants will explore what helps or hinders the evidence uptake\, how researchers can better engage with clinicians\, and how we can build stronger pathways between research and care. \nThe discussion will consider practical questions around the realities of integrating new knowledge into health care environments\, from evidence communication and clinical implementation to the partnerships needed to support uptake. The conversation will also examine how to determine when research is ready for practice and what effective implementation requires: the right evidence\, at the right time\, in the right context. \nAbout the series: KEystone Conversations is a new knowledge exchange (KE) series convened by the Pan-Canadian Women’s Health Coalition (PCWHC) to bring together researchers and partners working across the women’s health landscape. These informal sessions are designed to create a welcoming space for open dialogue and mutual learning. Each conversation will be lightly facilitated to encourage discussion while remaining flexible to the needs and interests of the group. By fostering peer learning and strengthening relationships across networks\, KEystone Conversations aims to spark collaboration and support the development of future partnerships in women’s health research. \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:Building Mutual Economic Partnerships
DESCRIPTION:The global economic landscape has accelerated efforts by governments around the world to strengthen economic resilience\, diversify partnerships\, and secure access to strategic markets and supply chains. Countries are reassessing long-standing assumptions about development\, trade\, economic security\, and international cooperation\, as reflected in the G7 leaders’ declaration of June 20261. At the same time\, many emerging economies are calling for partnerships that extend beyond traditional aid relationships to include trade\, investment\, innovation\, skills\, and technology collaboration. \nIn Canada\, these shifts have prompted renewed discussion about the role of international assistance within a broader economic\, trade\, and foreign policy agenda. Recent speeches and policy directions have emphasized the importance of building mutual economic partnerships that deliver sustainable development outcomes while also supporting Canada’s long-term trade\, investment\, workforce\, and supply chain interests\, including the goal of doubling non-US exports within the next decade. \nThis public event\, co-hosted by Aga Khan Foundation Canada and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC)\, will consider Canada’s role in building partnerships that respond to global challenges while creating opportunities for both Canada and its international partners. It will uncover how mutual economic partnerships can contribute to shared prosperity\, while examining the opportunities\, challenges\, and trade-offs associated with this evolving agenda. \nAdditional information for attendees: \n\nWhen you register\, please indicate your interest in attending in-person at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat or attending online (Zoom) by selecting the relevant ticket option.\nNetworking/Refreshments: In-person attendees are encouraged to participate in an informal networking session and enjoy refreshments after the panels.\nPlease note that this event will offer English and French interpretation.\n\nQuestions? Contact akfc.events@akdn.org \nAttend here!
