The field of health policy and systems research (HPSR) seeks to understand and improve how societies organize themselves in achieving collective health goals, and how different actors interact in the policy and implementation processes to contribute to policy outcomes. Interdisciplinary by nature, HPSR aims to provide a comprehensive picture of how health systems respond and adapt to health policies, and how health policies can shape − and be shaped by − health systems and the broader determinants of health. 

This webinar aims to highlight several current initiatives related to health policy and systems research in Germany, and to discuss and explore entry points for strengthening collaboration and partnerships for advancing HPSR within Germany and with international institutions. 

The webinar is jointly organized by the German Alliance for Global Health Research (GLOHRA); the Department of Population Medicine and Health Services Research (AG2) in the School of Public Health at Bielefeld University; and the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research, an international partnership hosted by the World Health Organization (The Alliance).
