WORKSHOPS
Workshops are a highlight of the Colloquium, providing an opportunity for interactive training, collaboration and discussion of systematic review methods and the many other issues occupying The Cochrane Collaboration.
Below is the schedule of workshops to be presented at the Colloquium. The workshops are divided into two categories:training workshops are designed to give you practical skills relevant to systematic reviews (including some presented by the Cochrane Methods Groups); and discussion workshops are designed to interactively explore important issues affecting reviews and the Collaboration. Click on the workshop title to view further information. Workshops are open to all delegates unless marked (restricted) to a specific target audience.
Workshops marked with this symbol provide a basic suite of training workshops likely to be relevant to anyone conducting a Cochrane intervention review.
Workshops marked with this symbol include hands-on training in the computer lab.
Signing up to workshops before the Colloquium is strongly encouraged as many workshops have space limitations. To sign up to workshops and to include them in your personal Colloquium schedule, you first need to login (link disabled) to your account.
