The NHMRC Research Translation Long Weekend 2022 has returned as a hybrid event, running 17 - 22 November, combining online presentations and in-person events. 

Menzies is delighted to be the host site for the Northern Territory, showing a live streaming of this event and holding an in-person event on Tuesday 22 November. 

The theme of this event is Embracing Diversity, encouraging the translation of research that improves equity and respects the health and health care decision making needs of people of different cultures, ethnic groups, socio-economic groups, abilities or ages. 

Across four days, a range of speakers are presenting on topics in a mix of keynote/ plenary, abstract and panel sessions. 

Two plenary sessions will be held each day across the 4 days, with the following themes:

  • Plenary 1: Mobilising knowledge to improve equity in health outcomes
  • Plenary 2: An equitable start to life: getting best practice into mother, infant and family care
  • Plenary 3: Mobilising knowledge to address complexity in health and health systems
  • Plenary 4: Getting best practice into practice
  • Plenary 5: Transforming how research is generated, valued and used
  • Plenary 6: Open science, research translation, equity and diversity
  • Plenary 7: Mobilising data to improve equity in health outcomes
  • Plenary 8: Closing the Gap in a Generation
