Past event

Join us for our half-day conference, ‘Beyond the pandemic: the impact of the COVID-19 research response in low- and middle-income countries’.

This free, virtual conference will bring together:

  • global researchers working on COVID-19 research
  • funders that have supported COVID-19 research
  • Other stakeholders in global health and research for development

As the COVID CIRCLE programme draws to a close, the event will enshrine the legacy of our community of researchers by showcasing the lasting impact of their COVID-19 research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In addition, the conference will draw out and develop lessons for researchers and funders that will help inform future research and emergency preparedness. It will also be a space to build connections and collaboration across the research ecosystem.


During the event, we’ll experience:

  • Live presentations and posters from global researchers working across multiple disciplines, showcasing the COVID-19 research they have conducted and its impact and touching upon lessons and next steps.
  • A session with UK-based funders, who will reflect on and discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced funding for emergency response research going forward, particularly in LMIC settings.
  • Multiple opportunities for networking and connection, from ‘speed networking’ to thematic ‘lounges’
