Share-Net Netherlands is excited to announce and invite you to join the 15th edition of the annual Linking Research, Policy and Practice (LRPP) Conference on Wednesday 25th of November 2026 in The Hague, the Netherlands, at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) of Erasmus University Rotterdam.
The Linking Research, Policy and Practice (LRPP) Conference on 25th of November 2026 brings together young researchers with policymakers, practitioners, and researchers working on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in international development – creating a space to disseminate groundbreaking new knowledge, engage in open dialogue, identify further gaps in research, policy, and practice, and to harness networking opportunities for meaningful partnerships and collaboration.
This conference is a flagship event organised by the Share-Net Netherlands Community of Practice (CoP) for Linking Research, Policy and Practice. The LRPP offers a platform for young researchers to exchange their insights, spark critical discussions, identify research and policy gaps, and build networks that drive meaningful collaboration and transformative change in SRHR.
The organisations involved in the CoP and in organising the 15th edition of the LRPP includes the University of Amsterdam, The International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam, University of Groningen, KIT Institute, Kenniscentrum Global Health and Liliane Fonds.
A more detailed programme of the conference will be communicated to you later.
For now, Save the Date and mark Share-Net Netherlands’ Linking Research, Policy and Practice Conference in your calendar!
