The CESAB<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Centre for Biodiversity Synthesis and Analysis \u2013 of the FRB is offering the fourth edition of the following training course: \u201cBiodiversity knowledge synthesis: an introduction to meta-analyses and systematic reviews<\/em><\/strong>\u201c. This five-day training aims to equip researchers with techniques for conducting meta-analyses and systematic reviews\/maps in the field of biodiversity. Participants will also become familiar with key tools (Web of Science, Scopus, Zotero, etc.) and statistical methods (R packages: metaDigitise, metafor, etc.) necessary to undertake systematic reviews and\/or meta-analyses.<\/p>\n

Strong proficiency in R is required, but prior experience in meta-analyses or systematic reviews is not necessary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The training course will be given in French<\/strong> and will take place from October 6 to October 10th<\/sup> 2025<\/strong> at CESAB, in Montpellier.

The FRB offers 4 scholarships of 250 euros each, which will cover the full registration fees. These scholarships are intended to support individuals who do not receive any institutional support (e.g., funding from their laboratory, research team, etc.) and who are unable to cover the registration fees with their own funds. We fully trust each applicant to assess their situation and apply for a scholarship only if necessary. The selection of participants will be carried out independently of the scholarship applications. Once this selection is made, the scholarships will be awarded by a random draw among the selected participants who have expressed a need for financial assistance (4 scholarships).\u00a0<\/p>\n
