WHO informal workshop on monitoring R&D resource flows

This workshop, kindly hosted by the Wellcome Trust, brought together people and organizations experienced in the area of collecting data related to the monitoring of R&D resource flows particularly related to health. The specific aims of the workshop were to:

  • share details of learning and experience on major initiatives that have been concerned with efforts to map international R&D resource flows with a focus on health (e.g. G Finder and RICYT) and related studies (e.g. OECD and UNESCO R&D surveys and statistics)
  • explore related issues for example research classification or how the health product pipeline for the health needs of developing countries might be mapped
  • discuss current opportunities and challenges in doing R&D resource flow mapping from the perspective of political, economic, social, technical, legal and ethical/environmental aspects
  • explore the opportunities to develop a more coordinated approach to R&D resource flow mapping at a global level

The workshop was hosted by the Wellcome Trust at its headquarters in London on 14 February 2013.
