Work begins to establish a new Cochrane Network across China

Cochrane is pleased to announce plans to establish a new, open and collaborative Network within China.A group of interested stakeholders have been invited to a two-day strategic planning meeting to be held on 9-10 October in Beijing (hosted by the Peking University Health Science Center), to discuss the strategic direction and the establishment of a Cochrane China Network.  The Cochrane China Network primary functions will be around ensuring that Cochrane ’s evidence is increasingly used in policy and practice inside China; supporting the Cochrane community of volunteers (authors, methodologists, editors) in China; and promoting and representing Cochrane in the country.This initiative involves the currentCochrane China Centre in Chengdu, as well as the new leadership of theCochrane Hong Kong Affiliate. It is expected that a formal launch of Cochrane ’s China Network will take place in early 2019.For more information of Cochrane ’s China Network, and sharing suggestions and information that promote Cochrane’s work across China, please contact Sylvia de Haan, Senior Advisor (Centres, Partnerships and Fundraising), Cochrane.Additional resources:Structures and Functions of Cochrane Geographically oriented structuresFind out more about CochraneLearn how our health evidence can help youWednesday, August 15, 2018
