COMET 2020 Webinar series
Following the COVID-19 global outbreak earlier this year, the COMET Management Group has made the difficult decision to postpone COMET VIII until it is safe to go ahead with the meeting, and a new date for this meeting will be confirmed as soon as it is possible to do so. As we had already started to plan an exciting programme for COMET VIII, we still want to be able to
share this with you. We are therefore planning a webinar series that will start on October the 8th and 9th 2020, with two consecutive webinars on the days that would have been COMET VIII, followed by once a fortnight after that. More details about forthcoming webinars will be announced as they become available.

The COMET Initiative has successfully brought together the international core outcome set (COS) literature in an online database. Annual completion of a systematic review of COS for research2 ensures that the database is kept up-to date, and the database is continually updated as we identify eligible studies. In this webinar we will share with you what we see as key findings across the body of evidence about COS in the COMET database, including an overview of the outcomes that are included in COS, the methods of development used, the different stakeholders involved, and the countries that participants come from, amongst other topics. We will also present and discuss work to date on COS for COVID-193, including the lessons learnt about raising awareness of work on this topic, ways to disseminate COS more widely and the steps taken to promote the use of COS for COVID-19 research.
