Over the last year, the Alliance has been working with partners to develop an online community for professionals working on health policy and systems research (HPSR). The Alliance Hive is an exclusive platform for grantees, partners and collaborators of the Alliance. It is a space to connect, network, engage and collaborate with the global HPSR community.
We are now pleased to open this community to a wider audience. It is a space where you can stay up-to-date with Alliance news and events, share ideas and find opportunities in the field of HPSR.
The platform also includes several sub-groups, two of which are already going strong: SYSTAC is a platform for systems thinking science and practice in HPSR; and Learning Health Systems builds on our recent flagship report to bring greater understanding of and attention to creating learning health systems. By joining the wider Hive, it is also possible to join these more focused communities of practice.
The Hive currently has over 200 active members and is growing all the time. Those interested in joining the Alliance Hive can request an invitation.
