Content
The workshop content is based on the research protocols developed by course participants and technical skills they require in order to successfully conduct this and future research. The workshop content is different from that of the online course as it is fine-tuned to fit the skill needs of participants.
Participants
The workshop will be attended by a special selection of health care professionals from developing countries who have received top scores in the 2016 GFMER/WHO online training course in sexual and reproductive health research (From Research to Practice: Training Course in Sexual and Reproductive Health Research 2016). The participants who are selected to be invited to attend the workshop in Geneva have watched the presentations in all course modules, submitted and reviewed required assignments, developed a research protocol in collaboration with a coach and have actively participated in the online course community.
Presenters
The workshop presentations are given by motivated experts in the area of sexual and reproductive health research from WHO, GFMER, and Management Center Innsbruck.
