News & Events
The GHMRC meets twice a year to review progress and define shared research priorities across the network.
These meetings bring together experts from different disciplines to exchange ideas, update each other, identify emerging scientific opportunities, and align strategic directions.
A key focus is also the discussion and selection of Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation Fellowships and Early-Career Researcher Projects, as well as the development of interdisciplinary topics that bridge different centers and expertise areas. These collaborations help ensure that research remains both innovative and relevant across settings.
In addition, the meetings provide an important forum to discuss the need for the Small Vulnerable Newborn research agenda and to shape its next steps. They also support the development of new and ongoing collaborations across centers, strengthening the overall network and enabling more coordinated, impactful research in maternal and newborn health.
