We want to invite you to Cochrane Convenes, an online event hosted by Cochrane, sponsored by WHO, and co-organized with COVID-END (COVID-19 Evidence Network to support Decision-making). Cochrane Convenes will bring together key thought leaders from around the world to discuss the COVID-19 evidence response and develop recommendations to help prepare for and respond to future global health emergencies.

Join world leaders of evidence synthesis to learn lessons from COVID-19 and shape responses to future Health emergencies.

The event is organized into a series of invitation-only thematic roundtables (on October 5 and 6, 2021) and a public plenary session (October 14, 2021). The participants will discuss lessons learned from the evidence synthesis response to COVID-19, including the communication of uncertain and rapidly changing evidence, the engagement with users to support evidence-informed decision making, and the need for political buy-in to research. The open plenary session will feature high-level keynote presentations, alongside an interactive panel session discussing the key lessons and recommendations from the roundtables.

Free registrations are open now for the public plenary session

Everyone is welcome to join!
