Here's a thread with a few details...

1/8

We're hoping to have 6 hackathons around #ESMARConf2023 - these are slow-burn group projects run over the year to produce or develop FREE tools to support evidence synthesis!

FREE TOOLS, PEOPLE!

2/8

We hope to have 10 x 60-minute panel discussions, covering things like: using text analysis to support search methods; rapid reviews and R; stakeholder engagement and evidence synthesis, plus tonnes more!

3/8

We'll have 13 interactive workshops of up to 2 hours covering topics from using GitHub to deduplicating bibliographic records - many not requiring any knowledge of R!

That's >24 hours of bespoke teaching.. FOR FREE!!

4/8

We'll have 28 presentations of up to 10 minutes each, introducing new frameworks, tools, and methods, or case studies showing how tools in R/Shiny were used in real reviews.

SO MUCH INFORMATION!!

5/8

Finally, we will have >50 (!) 10-20 minute tutorials - in these videos, the tool developers will walk you through R packages and Shiny apps, including example files for you to practice with!

MORE THAN 50! 🤯

"This can't all be free?!" I hear you say!

YES - it's entirely free and fully online. Watch live, take part, catch-up later. However you want!

AND - we're offering modest bursaries to support people with caregiving, resource and accessibility support needs.

7/8

Keep an eye open for registration details coming very soon, along with information on how to apply for a bursary!
