Dr. Holger Schünemann helped bring the 28th International Cochrane Colloquium to Toronto, bringing together international experts in health evidence synthesis. Toronto’s accessibility and international air connections were important factors in choosing the city, while the Leaders Circle provided significant support in developing the successful application.
The Story
Dr. Holger Schünemann saw Toronto as a strong setting for the International Cochrane Colloquium, an annual gathering of experts in health evidence synthesis. Accessibility was a major consideration in choosing the city, particularly Toronto’s international airport connections, which made it easier to bring together the global Cochrane community.
For Schünemann, the Leaders Circle also played an important role in turning that opportunity into a successful bid. He described the experience of working with the team as incredibly positive and singled out the support provided in putting the application and its materials together as outstanding. He directly credited the Leaders Circle with helping bring the Colloquium to Toronto.
