Symposium

SYMPOSIUM in Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses

The symposium is suitable for all researchers within the field of experimental animal studies and clinicians who have an interest in translational medicine. You can be new within a research area as well as experienced within your own research field. You will obtain the valuable information concerning how to move forward performing SR’s and benefit from a fruitful debate amongst leading groups within this area of science. In addition the symposium will be very relevant for members of the national committee and animal welfare bodies.

The following scientific groups will participate in the symposium:
