Learning Objectives
- Understand the principles and importance of EBR and its role in responsible, cumulative science.
- Assess whether a research question is underpinned by existing evidence and societal or end-user needs. Use evidence synthesis to inform the design and justification of a new study
- Recognise common challenges in implementing the EBR approach.
Structure and Content
- A one-day in-person workshop
- Lectures, discussions, and group activities led by EBR experts.
Who Should Register
This training school is designed for students and researchers interested in applying EBR principles to the justification and design of new studies to enhance research value and minimize research waste.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge about evidence syntheses (systematic reviews and other review types), how they are developed, and what they contribute to science.
Training School Registration
- The registration fee covers learning materials and light refreshments during the coffee breaks.
