These meetings oriented around harmonizing the policies of research of the region with those of the European Union, promoting cooperation in research between Latin America and the Caribbean and the European Union, and developing a road map for the normative entities in order to promote the policies on research for health, strengthen the ¨governance¨ of research, and promote the knowledge translation. The Seventh Program of Work of the European Union sponsored these high-level meetings that were carried out in Brazil from March 19-23.
