The workshop will comprise hands-on training in synthesis of evidence in animal experimentation and thus be most relevant for researchers who are planning experiments that may involve animals and researchers planning to translate discoveries from the preclinical setting to a clinical setting.
The workshop will give you the possibility to practice the steps necessary to perform a systematic review of experimental animal data.
NOTE: A maximum of 30 participants will be able to attend the workshop.
The workshop will be hosted by SYRCLE.
