Evidence Synthesis Ireland, which includes Cochrane Ireland, aims to build evidence synthesis knowledge, awareness and capacity among the public, health care institutions and policymakers, clinicians, and researchers on the island of Ireland. We do this through: 1) Training & Education; 2) Support & Network; and 3) Research & Innovation.
Join us in this webinar as we explore the training programs, webinars and Fellowships designed to equip our audience with the essential skills for evidence synthesis. Discover the enriching experience of our Fellowships, where participants gain hands-on exposure to cutting-edge methodologies and one-to-one mentorship. Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, or practitioner, we have courses that cater to all levels of expertise, enabling you to become proficient in navigating the world of evidence synthesis. We’ll also introduce our other initiatives, such as Communicating with the Public mentorship scheme or, the Study Within A Review (SWAR) Award that you can get involved in.
We want to hear from you – so we’ll have a live Q&A session to answer your questions or hear your suggestions.
Dr. Nikita Burke is the Programme Manager for Evidence Synthesis Ireland and Associate Director for Cochrane Ireland. She is passionate about building evidence synthesis knowledge, awareness and capacity, to support the impact of evidence synthesis on decision-making. With a profound understanding of the importance of reliable research, she drives the success and quality of a world class evidence synthesis centre at the University of Galway. Nikita’s journey in evidence synthesis began with a decade in preclinical research, earning her a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Galway with a focus on the role of the immune system in depression and chronic pain. Her curiosity and commitment to knowledge translation inspired her to bridge the gap between lab-based inquiry and real-world applications of research. Beyond her managerial expertise, Nikita has a strong interest in empowering researchers and the public alike. ESI values the expertise and influence that patients and the public bring to how we plan, do and share the results of evidence syntheses. Nikita has extensive experience in public involvement and engagement, and has recently published and presented on the topic. Through targeted training and mentorship, ESI nurtures the growth of skilled evidence synthesis experts, strengthening our Centre’s capacity to shape meaningful change.
