Type of activity Trainings, learning opportunities, workshops

If specific challenges were encountered in carrying out this activity, please note here During the pandemic we have started to offer our workshops online. Currently we offer a mix of onsite and online workshops. We see that there are more participants in the online workshops as they cost less and people do not need to travel. However, the onsite workshops are well booked too - participants enjoy the possibility for networking.

Please give additional activity details (i.e., reach, impact, duration, return on investment) We offer around 10 workshops in German language per year. The workshops teach participants how to critically assess systematic reviews, RCTs, observational studies, diagnostic studies, how to interpret the statistical findings of studies. We also offer workshops on how to conduct rapid reviews and how to do a systematic literature search. The target group of the workshops are health care professionals and other decision makers in health care who use evidence for decision making. Our workshops are usually well booked and have very good evaluations.
