Our dear colleague and friend Ana Lúcia Weinberg played an essential role in EDCTP’s involvement in Portuguese-speaking African countries. She passed away before this article was written. We thank Ana Lúcia for her invaluable contributions to EDCTP’s involvement in PALOP and to EDCTP in general. We commit to build on her work and to remain inspired by her spirit of optimism and warm personality.
Ana Lúcia was responsible for building and managing relationships with key partners, among others in Portuguese-speaking countries in Europe and Africa. She played an important role in the signing of an agreement of collaboration for strengthening health research ethics review capacity as well as fellowships in sub-Saharan Africa between EDCTP and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in 2015. Moreover, the agreement signed between EDCTP and the Mundo Sano Foundation in June 2017 was intermediated by Ana Lúcia. This agreement aimed to leverage research funding for neglected infectious diseases.
EDCTP supported a series of workshops on grant proposal writing to strengthen the capacity of researchers from lusophone, francophone and anglophone countries to secure funding. The first workshop focused on Portuguese-speaking researchers. Ana Lúcia was responsible to liaise with partners, as well as the development of workshop content and materials, and to present EDCTP funding opportunities during the workshops.
The first workshop focused on Portuguese-speaking researchers and took place on 29-31 January 2018 in Maputo, Mozambique. Through a call for participation, a total of 24 were selected from Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau and Mozambique. The workshop was organised by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) and the Manhiça Health Research Centre – Fundação Manhiça (CISM) in Maputo, Mozambique and funded by EDCTP and the Instituto de Salud Carlos III in Spain.
