Alive Learning Forum - join us!

The Alive Learning Forum is an open network and event series that provides a space for discussion and learning for everyone developing or interested in living evidence partnerships.

Forum members from across a range of sectors, topics, and geographies come together with a shared commitment to better decisions for a better world.

Everyone is welcome.

‍The Alive Learning Forum is driven by the evidence community for the evidence community. At a time when the world needs evidence more than ever, there is nothing more important than collaborative learning for collaborative solutions.

Sessions are offered at different times and in various languages to allow members to participate wherever they are based in the world. All our sessions are live translated to ensure everyone can listen in.

What types of sessions are there?

Alive Learning Forum sessions are developed and chaired by evidence leaders from across the world. Our team of co-chairs includes the fantastic evidence leaders Racha Fadlallah, Melissa Bond, Daniela Garcia Villamil, and Fred Dejonghe.

The programme includes three types of activities:

Alive Talks: An expert presents on a particular topic to prompt discussion about what living evidence can learn from parallel fields

“We will all need to engage in learning and improvement cycles – in joined-up ways whenever possible – if we are going to achieve the vision of radically more timely, relevant and affordable evidence syntheses. I’d love to see the Alive Learning Forum be an ‘engine’ driving these cycles.”
