The UK-based national research programme on Innovative Health Technologies (IHT) has joined up with the annual international conference of the HTAi, to open new debate between social science analysis of new health technologies and the perspective of health technology assessment. A two-day parallel workshop is planned which covers current developments in IHTs on the first day, then a joint session with HTA delegates on the second.
The fee for the event is being finalised but will be in the region of 320 euros, which covers registration for both days, lunches and the evening dinner of the IHT day on June 20. Places are limited to 40 delegates, so please register your interest as soon as possible with Stephanie Hazel-Gant at sjg11@york.ac.uk.
This event is not organised or funded by the Science in Society programme. Any detail relating to it contained on this site is provided for information only. |
