This major global meeting will be hosted by Malgorzata Bala, Director of Cochrane Poland, and her team, who welcomed the announcement as an exciting moment for evidence informed health care in Central and Eastern Europe.
"The 2026 Colloquium will provide space to reflect, connect, and collectively explore how evidence can best respond to emerging challenges and opportunities while remaining rigorous, transparent, inclusive, and trusted. We look forward to welcoming you to Krakow in December!"
