Trainings, learning opportunities, workshops
The objective of these stays is to provide methodological support to people from the Iberoamerican region in developing Cochrane Systematic Reviews (SRs) and other evidence-based research projects, such as clinical practice guidelines (CPGs).
Since 2000 the IbCC has hosted around 367 professionals from over 30 different countries (16 in 2025). Most of the visitors are Cochrane review authors, although some visitors are GPC developers, health science or translation post-graduate students, PhD students, etc.
The stay programme has entailed an important contribution to the production of protocols and reviews by Iberoamerican authors published in the Cochrane Library; and has contributed to a better training of many professionals who be able to transfer to patients and consumers from many countries all the work they have developed.
