On 25 January 2018, Cochrane Portugal held a Meeting in Coimbra. Those who attended the event included Xavier Bonfill, Director of the Cochrane Iberoamerica, António Vaz Carneiro, Director of Cochrane Portugal, João Costa, Co-ordinating Editor of Cochrane Movement Disorders, and over 20 representatives of several Portuguese academic and scientific institutions.

The goal of this meeting was to discuss the best way to adapt to the new geographical organisation and structure of Cochrane and the Iberoamerican Cochrane Network. At the next Governance Meeting, that will take place on 19-23 March 2018 in Lisbon, the Protuguese group will hold another meeting to establish the achieved agreements.
