💡 Register your interest and become part of new cooperation and funding opportunities promoted by ESIC and Wellcome.
ESIC – Evidence Synthesis Infrastructure Collaborative is a global initiative building collaborative infrastructure to strengthen evidence synthesis and its use in public policy, social programmes, and sustainable development.
On February 24, Wellcome Trust launched a funding call (£1.5 to £1.9 million) to establish five new global infrastructure hubs aimed at enabling AI-supported evidence synthesis in a more timely, relevant, and affordable way to address policy-scale challenges. This initiative is part of the first round of investments of Wellcome’s Evidence Synthesis Infrastructure Collaborative (ESIC). Full information is available on the official webpage.
Through this registration*, Hub LAC and the Brazilian Coalition for Evidence aim to connect organisations, networks, researchers, public managers, and civil society actors interested in collaborating on cooperation and funding opportunities. 🤝 By completing the interest form, organisations may describe their capacities and share contact details, which will be published on the dedicated page to facilitate connections with partners worldwide.
*Registration does not imply any formal commitment and is intended to strengthen collaboration within the evidence ecosystem in Latin America and the Caribbean.
