EUnetHTA Conference: HTA's Future in Europe

November 20, 2008
Pasteur Institute, Paris, France
Health technology is the application of scientific knowledge in health care and prevention. Health technology assessment (HTA) is a multidisciplinary process that summarises information about the medical, social, economic and ethical issues related to the use of a health technology in a systematic, transparent, unbiased, robust manner. Its aim is to inform the formulation of safe, effective, health policies that are patient focused and seek to achieve best value.

Detailed programme will be available at a later date. To receive updated information regarding the conference, please subscribe to the update service at http://www.eunethta.net/Home/

About European network for Health Technology Assessment (EUnetHTA)
In 2004 the European Commission and Council of Ministers targeted Health Technology Assessment (HTA) as "a political priority", recognising "...an urgent need for establishing a sustainable European network on HTA". A Commission call was answered in 2005 by a group of 35 organisations throughout Europe, led by the Danish Centre for Evaluation and HTA (DACEHTA) in Copenhagen.

European network for Health Technology Assessment, EUnetHTA, coordinates the efforts of 27 European countries including 25 Member States of the European Union in evaluating health technology in Europe.

The general strategic objective of the Network:
to connect public national/regional HTA agencies, research institutions and health ministries, enabling an effective exchange of information and support to policy decisions by the Member States. Specific Objectives...

During the first 3 years of existence (2006-2008) EUnetHTA aims at developing an organisational framework for a sustainable European network for HTA along with practical tools to fill into this framework to ensure timely and effective production, dissemination and transfer of HTA results into useful policy advice to the Member States and EU.

Initially, the EUnetHTA project is being co-financed by the European Commission (DG Sanco) and contributions from network members.

Progress reports and information on EUnetHTA activities involving a wider stakeholder group will be continuously available on the Eunethta website, http://www.eunethta.net.
