Educational activities (workshops, courses) on indirect comparison, network meta-analysis, ADDIS (M6)

Task 1.3.5 Dissemination & Training (M1-24) (UMCG, Astellas, Amgen) As part of the effort to promote uptake and understanding of ADDIS and the underlying theory and methodology, we aim to develop and give courses and workshops showcasing the tool’s power (D1.22/D1.23). Workshops are already planned with HTA bodies (ZIN) and regulatory bodies (MEB) and we expect to organise at least one such event per year. We also expect to run one course per year, depending on demand, and availability of teaching staff/budget. Training materials will be made available via the RWE Navigator. Task Force members will also work directly with Think Tank members and the broader GetReal RWE Research Community to promote ADDIS widely. Task 1.5.1: Education and training (UMCU, UMCG) (M12-24) In order to ensure there is sufficient support for new users of the tools and knowledge generated in The GetReal Initiative it is essential to ensure there is an appropriate education and training programme that can be sustained beyond the term of this project. The Eduction and Training platform developed as part of IMI GetReal will also provide a host for these eduction activities, with short online courses being developed on the tools. Each Task Force/workgroup leader will be responsible for developing the educational materials required to support new users implement the tools and approaches being promoted by the GetReal Initiative (D1.21, D1.22/D1.23). It is envisaged that during the course of the project, new materials will be incorporated within the existing GetReal course modules, however beyond the term of this project additional modules may be developed to incorporate new findings form the Think Tank and task forces. The content of the currently available Education & Training Programme will be continually updated based on feedback from course participants and training materials from the task forces (D1.24).
