The Campbell Collaboration’s Post

This week we hosted the mid-point meeting for the Evidence Synthesis Infrastructure Collaborative (ESIC) planning process in London over two days. It was such a privilege to facilitate this meeting with colleagues from around the world working to identify ways in which we can boldly transform the way we deliver more reliable, trustworthy evidence. We had global experts, early career researchers, funders, representatives from the UN and WHO, consultants in MEL, data science and economic analysis in the room and we had vibrant discussion about what we have achieved to date and what we need to do in the weeks ahead. It is not an easy road we are traveling but I certainly feel energised about what we can achieve together and I am looking forward to seeing everyone again in June for the consensus meeting in Cape Town, South Africa! Thank you to the Wellcome Trust for hosting us and empowering us with this opportunity to collaborate to generate real change in the global evidence ecosystem!
