Evidence Matters 2022
Evidence Matters is a virtual one-day summit that brings the literature review community together from different industries to learn, engage, and solve ever-pressing evidence-based research challenges. We celebrate the criticality of evidence-based research in generating trusted and actionable science that benefits all of humankind. We seek to connect with industry leaders, share best practices, and create new possibilities and experiences for professionals and our employees, to enable and support greater levels of innovation across the entire literature review lifecycle.
