Research4Life offers the opportunity to deliver a powerful publisher legacy in the Sustainability Development Goals and important steps on the STM SDG Sustainability Roadmap.

Join us for our inaugural Research4Life Town Hall on 29 February at 14.00 GMT for a conversation on how are working to level the playing field across the research ecosystem. We are transforming! You’ll hear from key leaders in the Partnership about Strategic Plan highlights from 2023 and plans for 2024.  And importantly you can learn from Country Connectors making a difference to researchers on the ground, building a community of evidence users and increasing participation for global knowledge exchange.  And, space for questions and exchange of ideas to actively shape the Partnership.
