Cochrane Learning Live is running a six-part webinar series on GRADE, the standard framework for assessing the certainty of evidence in systematic reviews and clinical guidelines. The series runs from April to November 2026 and is delivered by senior figures from the GRADE Working Group and the Cochrane GRADEing methods group.
