Annual WHO/Cochrane/Cornell Summer Institute for systematic reviews in nutrition for global policy-making

1 July – 2 August 2024
Division of Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University Campus, Ithaca, New York, United States of America

This unique Institute blends online and in-person learning for a modern educational experience. In 2024, it starts with a flexible week of online learning, letting you fit it into your schedule. This prepares everyone for a more intensive week of workshops at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where experts from WHO, Cochrane, and Cornell guide participants through the process of creating systematic reviews for nutritional interventions.

Before the official start in early July, participants will get materials to begin their online learning. Expect to dedicate around four hours daily to online modules during the first week, along with three live sessions for interactive learning. The second week brings everyone to Cornell's campus for hands-on training, discussion, and networking.
