Forum 2009 will bring together some 800 decision-makers in funding, research and policy to engage in dialogue, identify lessons learned from experience and identify pathways to solutions. You will be able to learn about and discuss topics such as building effective national health innovation systems, social entrepreneurship for health, knowledge translation platforms, "innovation indicators" for emerging countries and global innovation policy research networks.

You will have the opportunity to network with participants from health- and science-related ministries, R&D institutions and academia, development agencies and foundations, nongovernmental organizations, civil society, the private sector and the media from around the world.
