Dear All,
I'm happy to share with you that '22nd Cochrane Colloquium', an annual
celebration of Cochrane Collaboration is going to take place in Hyderabad this
year. Cochrane Collaboration is an independent, non-for profit, international
organisation. It helps provide evidence-based, relevant, systematic, up-to-date
reviews to people on health which is widely referred by
healthcare-professionals, patients and general public.
Last year in the Colloquium, there were nearly 2000 scientists from around the
world in Quebec where Cochrane and Wikipedia initiated a partnership to
populate Wikipedia articles with evidence from Systematic Reviews. This
partnership was initiated on the Wikipedia front by Dr. James and his team of
Wiki Project Med Foundation. As a part of it there has been appointment of
Sydney Poore as a Wikipedian-In-Residence. For more. The Colloquium is going to
happen from 21st - 26th September this year.
A Pre-colloquium Symposium 'Wikipedia and Cochrane' is planned on 21st Sept.
Cochrane Collaboration has offered free entries for upto 50 Wikipedians to this
session!
Cochrane has also allotted two slots for Wikpedia Workshops in addition to a
Wikipedia Booth during the colloquium. Details are here:
