In this one day workshop, participants will be introduced to the concept of systematic reviews of animal studies.

The participants will learn:

- the advantages and limitations of systematic reviews

- to practice the steps of a systematic review

The practical training well let the participant get a good idea about the added value of systematic reviews and about the possibilities and efforts needed for conducting such a review in their own field of research.

This course will be conducted in cooperation with colleagues from SYRCLE (SYstematic Review Centre for Laboratory animal Experimentation, part of the Central Animal Laboratory of the Radboud University Medical Center, The Netherlands) and is aimed at all researchers.

Universities in Switzerland: CHF: 250.-
Industry, external person and institutions from abroad: CHF 380.-

Please note that we will charge you the full fees in case of a late cancellation of the course (within 3 weeks before start of the course) or in case of absence. It is the responsibility of the participant to inform the organizer of the course about the cancellation before the deadline of 3 weeks before the course to avoid the billing of the course. To charge for cancellations is common practice by other providers, too. The new proceedings for education courses became necessary due to an increasing extent of short term cancellations in training modules.

Insurance is responsibility of each participant.
