The objective of the workshop was to bring together international experts from various institutions around Europe, with a particular focus and expertise on Scoping Reviews. As an applied frame of the project and the Workshop we used the ongoing research on a taxonomy of teaching methods.

  • Explain the principles of scoping reviews and appropriate choice of review methodology
  • Understand the advantages and challenges of international collaborations in research for young researchers
  • Contribute to discussions of teaching methods, and critically evaluate synthesis approach
  • Appraise the role of consensus in scientific research, and when it is appropriate to use consensus methodology
