Webinar Series: Co-Creation Across Health Services, Systems and Policy

This fall, the Competence Center for Learning Health Systems (CCLHS) is launching the webinar series "Co-Creation in Action for Health Systems, Services, and Policy". Across five online sessions, senior researchers, project leaders, and practitioners from different countries will share how they use co-creation in their work.

Date: 8 October – 5 November 2026
Location: Online

Co-creation is increasingly used to involve patients, professionals, communities, and policymakers in shaping health services, systems, and policy. But what does real co-creation actually look like in practice?

With a focus on what happens on the ground, the series will explore how co-creation is designed and facilitated in real-world projects, what challenges arise along the way, which approaches have proven useful, and which lessons can travel across contexts.

The series is for researchers and practitioners working in health systems, health services, and health policy. It is open to participants at all career stages, and no prior knowledge of co-creation is required.

All webinars are taking place online and held in English. Partcipation is free of charge, but registration is required. You can join individual sessions or attend the full series.
