Cape Town, South Africa
Abstract submission closes on 1 March 2017
The Global Evidence Summit (GES) will be a unique gathering of five international
organisations (Cochrane, Guidelines International Network, Campbell Collaboration,
International Society for Evidence-based Healthcare and Joanna Briggs Institute)
involved in evidence based practice, policy, methodology and advocacy.
The theme of the conference is ‘Using evidence. Improving lives’.
The GES aims to advance the use of reliable research evidence in
addressing some of the world’s most serious health and social challenges.
We expect up to 1500 participants to attend this conference.
Bursaries and stipends will be available to help people based in
developing countries, consumers and students attend the GES.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to exchange ideas with leaders in the field and discuss
fresh thinking about how to generate and package evidence for health and society.
