The Lion City state of Singapore is delighted to host the 17th Cochrane Colloquium and extends a warm welcome to all who are passionate about generating, organising, disseminating and applying the best evidence for health care.

The first Cochrane Colloquium in Asia comes at a time of rapid growth in Cochrane activity and widespread interest among the region's policy makers in truly integrating evidence into healthcare decision making. This year's Colloquium will focus on the key challenges and opportunities both for the region and for the Cochrane Collaboration. In a city renowned for its cultural fusion, we will hear a range of perspectives and experiences to inform and enlighten our discussions. The scientific programme, like Singapore itself, will embrace the future while maintaining a healthy respect for the traditions of the past.

Singapore’s four official languages are displayed in the website banner: English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. It reflects a harmonious society that nurtures a mutually respectful yet vibrant palette of modernity and multicultural traditions. For visitors from afar, you could treat your stay as a 'taster' of things Asian or as an ideal vantage point for exploring the charming mysteries of tropical Asia.

Come see, hear and taste the uniqueness that is Singapura - SELAMAT DATANG - WELCOME!
