Young Investigators Workshop at EAHAD 2018
*Deadline extended to 10 January 2018*
EAHAD is excited to announce that our 2018 Congress will feature a half-day workshop for Young Investigators on 6 February on the topic of:
Finding the answer to your question – a workshop on study design
Research projects have the aim to answer questions that are essential for medical progress. To perform a successful research project, it is essential to formulate the right research question and to use the right design for the study.
The aim of this Young Investigator Workshop is to teach clinical and translational researchers:
1. How to formulate the right research question
2. How to choose the correct study design
This will enable you to get a valid answer to your research question.
You will be asked to prepare a short presentation on one of your research projects, within the clinical or translational domain. Basic experimental research projects do not qualify.
