Abstract submissions are now open for the Cochrane Colloquium 2026, taking place in the vibrant and historic city of Kraków, Poland. This is your chance to showcase your work, spark new collaborations, and join a global community shaping the future of trusted evidence.
Cochrane invites researchers, policymakers, evidence producers, technologists, health professionals, community members, trainers, and learners from across health and beyond to contribute. The Colloquium will bring together leaders in evidence, policy, data science, and digital innovation to help build a modern, connected, and equitable evidence ecosystem—one that embraces responsible technological advances while safeguarding quality, transparency, and trust.
As Cochrane transforms its publishing model to deliver continuously updated, policy relevant evidence, this Colloquium becomes a pivotal moment. Aligned with global partners such as WHO, Wellcome, ESIC, and national ministries, we are working toward evidence that is more timely, more connected, and more impactful.
Across presentations, workshops, and interactive sessions, participants will explore innovations in methods, AI enabled evidence synthesis, equitable governance of global evidence infrastructure, and strategies to counter misinformation. Together, we’ll define what a modern evidence system should look like—and how to strengthen the pathway from data to decisions.
Whether you’re advancing methodology, driving digital innovation, or championing equity in evidence, we want to hear from you. Accepted abstracts will feature in oral, poster, workshop, and interactive formats as part of a dynamic, collaborative programme.
‘Cochrane Evidence: Living, Trusted, Transformed’ is our vision — and a call to action.
Join us in Kraków and be part of the movement shaping the future of evidence.
