Reviewing and assessing emerging trends and needs for research, development and innovation (RDI) and capacity building in a short, medium and long-term perspective

Abstract An important aim of the Partnership is to identify current and future health services and systems priorities and to identify capacity building and training needs to support RDI activities in health and care systems in the Partnership countries and the EU as a whole. This is being done by means of periodical reviews, among others building on scientific research literature, strategic and policy documents and consultations of stakeholders. At the conference workshop, results of the mapping are presented, with a special focus on priority areas that can contribute to health systems transformation towards sustainable and people-centred health and care systems accessible to all. The session will allow participants provide reflections on and refinements to potential common priorities across national RDI agendas. This will provide direction for future research calls, based on an inventory of priorities that are considered by both policy audiences, research and wider stakeholder communities that should be addressed at EU and national levels.
