The Campbell Collaboration

***REMINDER*** Webinar - Supporting the routine use of evidence during the policy-making process: a WHO checklist Launched in 2024, the Global Coalition for Evidence from the World Health Organization aims to foster Collaboration, Coordination, and Consolidation to increase evidence use in decision-making and empower local leadership for global impact. The establishment of a working group on evidence-informed policy-making (EIPM) institutionalization is focused on providing the Coalition with a community dedicated to strengthening policy processes, promoting sustainability, and offering a structured approach to embedding evidence in decision-making. In 2025, a series of 07 webinars on the domains of EIPM institutionalization will be held, to debate experiences around the world of using the "Supporting the routine use of evidence during the policy-making process: a WHO checklist" tool. The first webinar will take place on January 23, 2025 at 1pm (GMT) and will be focused on presenting an overview of the tool and its use in Thailand.

🛜 The Impacts of Online Hate : Pathways to Promising Solutions 💡 Recent years have seen a surge in social polarization and a proliferation of divisive, hateful rhetoric on social media. This webinar, informed by the systematic review "Exposure to hate in online and traditional media: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the impact of this exposure on individuals and communities" published in The Campbell Collaboration Systematic Reviews, will explore the far-reaching consequences of online hate on individuals and society as a whole. In the wake of some big tech rolling back fact-checking and safeguards against hate speech, this webinar aims to explore policy and on-ground prevention solutions to preserve peace and our social fabric for the future. *En anglais seulement 👥 This event will bring together the authors and contributors of the systematic review, including : 🔸 Pablo Madriaza, Professor in Social Work at UQTR; 🔸 our Director and Founder, Ghayda Hassan; 🔸 our Research Lead, Sébastien Brouillette-Alarie; 🔸 along with special guests from the policy and tech sectors! ⌚ February 6, 2025 | 11:30AM - 1:00PM For more details and (free!) registration 👇 https://lnkd.in/eJRD9MDm To download the systematic review informing this webinar 👇 https://lnkd.in/ezAciY3g

🌟 The Complexities of Impact Work for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) 🌟 I recently read this article that renders visible the challenges and contradictions ECRs face in balancing societal impact with academic career progression. The authors do a great job of both presenting how this is a relatively new challenge and ways in which it could be meaningfully addressed: 👉 ECRs are increasingly navigating a research environment where societal impact is gaining prominence alongside traditional academic achievements. 👉 Despite policy signals valuing impact, ECRs face tension between dedicating time to impactful work and meeting established success metrics like publications and funding. 👉 The precarious nature of early academic careers, coupled with time constraints, insufficient organisational support, highly mobile careers, and reward structures that undervalue impact, limits the ability of ECRs to fully engage in impactful activities. What needs to change: 🔶 To support ECRs, impact must be integrated into academic reward frameworks, including recruitment and promotion criteria. 🔶 Providing incentives and fostering long-term capacity-building are crucial steps forward. 🔶 My reflections: For ECRs to dedicate time for impact work, academia must rethink its reward structures, making impact an integral part of success criteria rather than an optional risk. Impact work is about trust, connections and relationships, it takes time to foster this. So at the heart of the challenge is the precarious contracts and high levels of mobility, which make it really difficult for ECRs. Providing more location-stable opportunities and clearer career pathways can enable ECRs to build lasting relationships with research users, crucial for impactful work. #EarlyCareerResearchers #ResearchImpact #HigherEducation #SocietalImpact

Today is International Education day and we celebrate the Campbell Education Coordinating Group (ECG). The ECG is an international network that includes scholars, policymakers, practitioners and funders interested in evidence-based practice and systematic reviews in the field of education. Together they support the publication of evidence synthesis, encourage end-user involvement, and provide training and guidance for authors.
