Overview

EVIPNet Europe is a WHO Regional Office for Europe initiative. It aims to increase country capacity in developing health policies informed by the best available research evidence – in line with and in support of "Health 2020" implementation (1). EVIPNet Europe institutionalizes knowledge translation (KT) – the process of fostering research use in policy-making – through the establishment of national country teams (2). These groups plan and implement KT activities at country level. This summary describes the first EBP workshop of EVIPNet Poland, jointly organized by WHO and the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Poland.
