- Teams from Peru and the United Kingdom from IMPACT Salud project exchanged lessons learned, shared progress, and outlined new actions leading up to 2027
From September 15 to 18, the IMPACT Salud project held its annual meeting, a forum for exchange and joint planning that brought together its teams from Peru and the United Kingdom, as well as partners from other countries, to review the progress made in 2026, share lessons learned across the various work packages, and define priorities for the coming period.
Through collaborative working sessions, each work package reflected on its main achievements in 2026, identified opportunities for improvement, and planned activities for the period from October 2026 to October 2027. In addition, the group explored new outcomes and products that would expand the project’s impact beyond academic publications.
The agenda also included sessions to learn about the national context in which the Scale Up Partners carry out their work, strengthen communication among the teams, and identify new opportunities for collaboration.
Beyond IMPACT
During the meeting, a workshop was held to identify new research priorities and generate ideas for future proposals addressing dementia.
In addition, a session was held to reflect on the sustainability of the IMPACT Salud project, featuring two leaders representing civil society, including the Peruvian Alzheimer's Association, an organization that promotes counseling services and support groups for family members and caregivers of people with Alzheimer's.
The annual meeting reaffirmed the importance of collaborative work and the exchange of experiences to strengthen research within the IMPACT Salud project and develop strategies to ensure its sustainability. With a shared vision, the teams continue to move forward toward 2027, seeking to use scientific evidence to bring about positive changes that improve the quality of life for people with dementia and their caregivers.
