National policy conferences

As part of the PEP approach to support policy-engaged research, as well as to facilitate effective dissemination and policy influence at the national level, PEP provides financial and logistical support for researchers to organize policy conferences, through which they can directly communicate and discuss their PEP research findings to an audience of policy makers, advisors and other stakeholders, in their home countries.

Below are the latest national policy conferences organized by local research teams to present PEP-supported research.
