2016

At the invitation of the CEO, Dr. Urmas Siigur, the British ambassador to Estonia, Mr. Chris Holtby, paid a farewell visit to the new building of Tartu University Hospital on Puusepa Street.

 

The organisers of the visit included, among others, the laureates of Audiere's audiology scholarshipMaret Lepplaan, Paul Gardner and Maris Kruusmaa. The remarkable contribution by Ambassador Holtby to the development of Estonian audiology and his support for the scholarship scheme is taking Sandra Vill, a student of Special Education at the University of Tartu, to the University of Southampton this autumn to study audiology.

Congratulations to Her Majesty, and many thanks to Chris Holtby for inviting us! What a wonderful celebration it was!


One of the keys to the success of Audiere's Audiology Scholarship programme has been, from the very start, Ambassador Chris Holtby's dedicated and strong support for it. To think that there are now, because of his help, several young audiologists in Estonia who offer modern treatment for hearing impaired and little patients with cochlear implants, is certainly gratifying. Furthermore, his understanding that Estonian audiology needs to develop international co-operation in scientific research has helped young academics to collaborate with their peers abroad.

Thank you, Chris! You'll stay in Estonia through these people for a long, long time!
We wish you and your family all the very best in Australia!
