Invitation to Participate

The Coordinating Committee is pleased to invite you to the 2008 Campbell Collaboration (C2) Colloquium in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from May 12 to 14, 2008.

The 2008 Campbell Collaboration (C2) Colloquium is co-hosted and coordinated by the Canadian Council on Learning; the Province of British Columbia; the Canadian Language and Literacy Research Network and the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services.

The theme of the 2008 Colloquium is Speaking Truth to Power: Evidence for Decisions in Education, Social Welfare, and Criminal Justice. The Coordinating Committee is striving for a Colloquium that:

• engages participants intellectually throughout the colloquium;
• creates excitement about the usefulness of systematic reviews of evidence for decision-making purposes;
• fosters an appreciation of the respective perspectives of decision-makers and investigators;
• is a forum for the exchange of knowledge about evidence for education, social welfare and criminal justice; and
• is perceived as having provided participants with significant values for their investment of time and other resources.
