Gestaltung: Büro MAGENTA Freiburg // Globalisation is the predominant buzzword of our time, and its effects, both positive and negative, are not fully understood. Health care is part of this globalisation process with its global exchange of knowledge in research and practice. Over the last 15 years, The Cochrane Collaboration has laid the critical groundwork in creating a standardised, international appraisal system of healthcare interventions. The Cochrane Colloquium 2008 offers an outstanding opportunity to interact with central players active in evidence-based health care, global knowledge management and systematic reviews. Catch up on current international developments and attend workshops to delve further into individual topics. // www.cochrane.de
