Looking Ahead

Today we look ahead to 2020 (and our next Colloquium in Toronto), the ways to get involved in Cochrane, and what the future holds for Cochrane.

Special Content

#CochraneToronto

The 27th Annual Cochrane Colloquium in 2020 will be hosted by Cochrane Canada. 

Thank you!

The in-person and Virtual #Cochrane Santiago Colloquium were made possible by collaboration from so many in the Cochrane Community. We are so grateful!

Cochrane Training

Cochrane Training have been working with delegates to share their oral presentations and posters for this virtual colloquium, and we have enjoyed having the opportunity to work with so many of you on this.

Our online training activities aren’t just confined to the Virtual Colloquium!

Throughout the year you can sign up for one of our many Cochrane Learning Live webinars. These are open to all and tackle a range of topics including Cochrane methodology, consumer involvement, review tools and innovative techniques, editorial processes and knowledge translation. There’s also an archive of webinar recordings, where you can view edited webinars in ‘bite sized’ sections. The webinars are aimed at all levels, and we’ll be working with colleagues from this year’s virtual colloquium to run some sessions based on colloquium special sessions and workshops.

We also have a host of online learning modules and courses, covering all aspects of Cochrane’s work and methods. Cochrane Interactive Learning is a ten module course covering the process of conducting an intervention review. Cochrane Evidence Essentials is a suite of four modules aimed at beginning to Cochrane and our work, and introduces health evidence and its use, as well as clinical trials and systematic reviews. That’s just a flavour of our offer: there’s a whole range of online learning that you can use at your own pace and when you most need it.

Looking to find face-to-face training or workshops locally? We also have a searchable list of upcoming learning events, so you can connect with training near you.

Explore the range of learning options and resources at training.cochrane.org. For any questions, comments and suggestions, tweet us @cochranetrain, #cochranelearninglive or send an e-mail to training@cochrane.org.

Participation Survey

Thank you for taking part in our first virtual Colloquium! It was extraordinary circumstances that led us to having a virtual Colloquium. Our Colloquiums take several years of work and planning for our local organizing committees. It was quite the feat to change gears and pull together a virtual Colloquium in a month. What learning can we take from this? What worked well? What can we do better? What should we try next year?
