If specific challenges were encountered in carrying out this activity, please note here Unfortunatelly the stays of external researchers is not funded. In Europe we can use ERASMUS, but with students/researchers from outside of Europe funding becomes more difficult

Please give additional activity details (i.e., reach, impact, duration, return on investment) In 2023 we had 2 PhD students from Cochrane Romania at our Centre in Austria. They worked mainly on a systematic review comissioned by WHO. For us it was great to have such motivated researchers in the team. For them it was an opportunity to learn how to conduct a systematic review in practice. Our next guest will be an information specialist from Cochrane Romania who plans to give workshops on literature search in Romania after her stay in Austria.
