How can we better bridge the gap between research and policy and ensure that scientific knowledge is translated into meaningful action? The 2026 ERA4Health Synergies Workshop aims to bring together researchers and policymakers to explore how research findings can better inform policy and how researchers can engage more effectively in the policy-making process.

The workshop will focus in particular on:

• how researchers can effectively bring their research results to the attention of policymakers;
• how policymakers can make use of scientific evidence in policy development;
• when and how researchers should engage in the policy-making process;
• how to make opportunities and timelines for stakeholder engagement clearer and more accessible.

The workshop aims to support dialogue between the research and policy communities and to identify practical ways to strengthen the use of research results in policy.
