In a new Health Policy Watch article, WHS President Axel R. Pries emphasizes that investing in health pays off far beyond the health sector:

“Investments in pandemic prevention and preparedness pay off in the long run for Germany and the world, strengthening societal resilience, economies, and stability.”

What does it take to turn evidence into better health policy and practice?

One answer is sustained academic collaboration across borders and disciplines. That is the role of the WHS Academic Alliance — the scientific network of the World Health Summit.

Formerly the M8 Alliance, the WHS Academic Alliance brings together 30 leading academic institutions from six continents. Founded by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin in 2009, it strengthens evidence-based global health policy and international cooperation.

Why it matters:

📊 Connects science to policy agendas: helping ensure global health discussions are informed by evidence and best practices

🌍 Supports regional leadership and relevance: the WHS International Presidency and host of the WHS Regional Meetings rotate annually among Academic Alliance member institutions, linking global priorities with regional perspectives

🤝 Connects academic expertise across regions: advancing collaboration to tackle complex health challenges

She emphasizes that youth voices must be included from the very beginning of discussions - all the way through to implementation. Meaningful participation ensures that programs truly reflect the priorities and perspectives of those they aim to serve.

Through the Youth Group Opportunity, Y-ACT joined 25 youth-led organizations worldwide at . The initiative provides complimentary tickets to organizations by and for young people, helping ensure youth perspectives are involved in shaping the future of global health.
