Teema: SAVE THE DATE: Diving into Implementation Research, October 20,
2023
On behalf of Dr. Kremlin Wickramasinghe, Head a.i. WHO European Office
for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases, Regional
Adviser for Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the WHO European Office for Prevention and Control of
Noncommunicable Diseases (WHO NCD Office), we would like to inform you
about the online seminar on Implementation Research as part of the Early
Career Researchers Net event series and kindly invite you to join us.
Please find the scope and purpose of the event series and the provisional
programme attached.
This event will be held on October 20, from 12.00 to 13.00 CEST via Zoom.
The working language of the event is English.
.
This month we are going to delve deep into the groundbreaking domain of
Implementation Research.
Implementation Research is a dynamic field of study that aims to bridge
the gap between evidence-based interventions and their implementation in
real-world settings. In this event, we will shed light on how
implementation research can help advance health equity and discuss a
well-known example of how it catalyzed meaningful change in diabetes
prevention in Kerala, India.
The event will feature presentations from two world-renowned experts in
Implementation Science: Prof David Peters, Dean, Faculty of Health, York
University, Canada; and Prof Brian Oldenburg, Professor of Public Health
& Implementation Science, La Trobe University and Baker Heart &
Diabetes Institute, Australia.
We would be delighted if you could accept our invitation and share this
information with your colleagues. We are kindly asking all those who
would like to join the event to fill out a short registration
form available via this link:
All the registered participants will receive a Zoom link before the
meeting.

Early Career Researchers Net (ECR Net) –
WHO/Europe NCD Office event series 01 March 2023
on public health and NCDs Original: English
Scope and purpose
Enthusiastic about providing additional learning opportunities and building capacity on
noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) among early career researchers and young public health
professionals in the WHO European Region, the WHO European Office for the Prevention and Control
of NCDs (WHO NCD Office), held a capacity building workshop as part of the expert meeting on
Innovative Approaches to Counteract NCDs in the WHO European Region in 2019. This workshop has
resulted in closer cooperation with talented young public health experts in projects of WHO/Europe.
Building on this success, the WHO NCD Office’s Seminar Series for Early Career Researchers was
established in early 2020. The seminars resulted in over 400 committed early career professionals from
the WHO European Region and beyond joining the network. Through the series of eleven virtual
meetings organized from July 2020 to June 2021, the participants had an opportunity to connect with
prominent public health experts and explore the topics:
• health literacy, behavioural and cultural insights;
• gambling and drinking;
• corporate political activity as a commercial determinant of health;
• career development in global health, and other diverse critical and novel issues related to NCDs
that can be found here.
Recognizing the early career researchers need to continue professional development and growing
professional network, the WHO NCD Office is introducing Early Career Researchers Net (ECR Net).
Through the series of interactive events, this platform will enable networking opportunities and learning
about cutting-edge projects and research, meeting collaborators and sharing ideas with colleagues.
With this new format, we aspire to bring together WHO staff members, world-renowned experts in
public health and keen early career researchers and public health professionals to network and
synergistically address the main priorities and emerging issues in tackling NCDs. Moreover, the
representatives of key stakeholder organizations across the WHO European Region will be invited to
each of the events to introduce the scope of their work, current project activities and plans, which will
allow the participants to map potential educational and career opportunities in the field of public health.
The ECR Net is thus a series of online monthly events aimed at building a thriving community of early
career professionals within five years of graduation from their postgraduate degree. Participants will be
encouraged to actively take part in activities, engage in the discussions and present their own areas of
interest and research. Therefore, the ECR Net events will enable the environment for professional
networking and empower specialists in the beginning of their careers to ensure the future of vital
research and united action to improve health and prevent NCDs across the Region.
