Programme

Welcome to the Full Programme for the Cochrane Colloquium 2026, taking place from 8–10 December 2026 at the ICE Kraków Congress Centre in Kraków, Poland.

Under the theme “Cochrane Evidence: Living, Trusted, Transformed”, the Colloquium will bring together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, methodologists, technologists, evidence users and innovators from around the world.

The programme has been designed to encourage shared learning, collaboration and meaningful discussion across the global evidence community. Across the three days, delegates can look forward to a varied programme featuring plenary sessions, oral presentations, workshops, special sessions and poster presentations.

• Workshops: Interactive sessions designed to encourage participation, practical learning, discussion and the exchange of knowledge.
• Special Sessions: Dedicated sessions exploring important topics and initiatives relevant to the Cochrane community and the wider evidence ecosystem.
• Poster Presentations: Explore a wide range of research and projects through poster presentations, with opportunities to engage directly with presenters and discuss their work.
