As 2025 comes to a close, we’re pausing to reflect at Research to Action (R2A) ✨
This year, 27,000+ readers from 188 countries joined us in exploring how research can better inform action — reading, sharing, and asking thoughtful questions along the way 🌍📚
Despite a challenging year for international development, our community leaned into conversations about:
📊 Impact and learning
🔄 Knowledge brokering & evidence use
🤖 AI and the future of research
What inspired us most was how you engaged — with curiosity, care, and a commitment to making evidence matter.
✨ Looking ahead, we remain focused on creating space for reflection, learning, and meaningful exchange — together.
Thank you for being part of the journey. Here’s to another year of curiosity and impact 💛

In our latest blog Inés Arangüena breaks down the Researcher Impact Framework (RIF) — a super practical way to show the real-world impact behind research, not just the publication count.
✨ Why it’s worth a read:
💡 Clearly explain the difference your work makes
📚 Connect outcomes to real evidence + activity
🤝 Highlight impact through collaboration, knowledge sharing & community
📊 Use metrics that actually matter (not just journal impact factors!)
If you’re a researcher, communicator, or anyone trying to share the story behind your work… this framework is a game-changer.

Revisiting a 2022 article by Tebby Leepile this International Week of Science and Peace. It dives into the challenge of scaling implementation science: too big becomes unsustainable, too small makes little impact. 🌍🔬
How do we find the balance that leads to real change?
