FutureWORKS Asia was established with this goal in mind. From 9–12 June 2026, FutureWORKS Asia convened its annual Network Meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, bringing together researchers from both cycles of funded projects for the first time. Strengthening research through peer learningOne of the primary objectives of the network meeting was to create space for researchers to learn from one another. Researchers from the FutureWORKS Asia network presented emerging findings from their own studies, providing real-world evidence from countries across the region. Alongside country-level dissemination, FutureWORKS Asia will continue to facilitate cross-country learning through future network meetings, thematic discussions, and joint knowledge-sharing activities.
