Forum 2009 Innovating for the health of all
Location: Havana, Cuba
Dates: 16-20 November 2009
This year’s milestone event in research and innovation for health, at the invitation of the Ministry of Public Health of Cuba, is generating a very high interest.
This unique event is bringing together some 800 leaders and experts from around the world to share ideas and forge new partnerships. Registered participants include a unique mix of stakeholders from health and science ministries, research agencies and institutions, development agencies, foundations, nongovernmental organizations, civil society, the private sector and the media.
If you have not yet registered, now is the time to do so. At the Forum, you will have the opportunity to expand your networks and also to learn from discussions on many topics, including social entrepreneurship for health, public-private product development for neglected diseases, e-Health, knowledge-translation platforms, national health innovation systems, donor-country harmonization and coherence, and innovative financing strategies.
At a time of uncertain economic stability and when resources scarce, this Forum provides a timely platform to explore the added value and opportunities that innovation for health and health research can bring. What exactly is “innovation”? How can decision-makers and practitioners work together to foster innovation for health and health equity? What can we learn from innovation policies and initiatives around the world? These questions will be answered in Forum 2009’s interwoven discussions of social innovation and technological innovation.

We very much look forward to seeing you in Cuba.
