We would like to invite you to celebrate 10 years of G-I-N with us by attending the annual conference at its birthplace in Berlin, Germany, on 22-25 August 2012.

10 years of G-I-N is a special date to reflect lessons learned and to discuss future visions for international collaboration, taking into account the opportunities to share evidence globally and to respect local differences influencing the decision making process at the level of formulating guideline recommendations and policy decisions.

The specific theme for this year’s conference is 'Global Evidence - International Diversity'. In this context, strategies and successful examples of international collaboration will be addressed. The Scientific Committee aims to ensure that the diversity of the international audience is represented across all sessions.
Major Topics
  • Latest developments in defining standards of quality of guidelines
  • The methodology of creating the evidence basis for guidelines
  • Patient involvement in guideline development
  • Implementation and knowledge management
An inspiring programme of plenary sessions, workshops, panel sessions, short oral presentations and posters will be provided by an international panel of invited speakers and abstract submitters.
