Living evidence syntheses are an emerging tool that provide policymakers with up-to-date syntheses of research evidence when they need it. We invite you to help us understand when, why and how living evidence can be most useful in informing health policy. This participatory workshop aims to understand how policymakers view and experience living evidence in order to inform the ‘living evidence into policy’ global research agenda. In a facilitated 'World Cafe' style we will facilitate discussion amongst participants about when and how living evidence can be most useful for health policy and to identify policymakers and knowledge intermediaries who would be willing to continue to participate in research on living evidence for policy.
