Early Phase Health Technology Assessment COURSE<\/p>\n

organised by the
Center for Health Technology Assessment,<\/span>
SEMMELWEIS UNIVERSITY, Budapest
COURSE DATE: 13 \u2013 16 January 2026, 9 AM-4 PM
Health economic aspects of pharmaceutical R&D decisions<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

For Whom?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For representatives of health care innovators, investors and payers, HTA agencies, academic researchers and market access specialists of the health care industry or who are involved or interested in-, or influenced by decisions in pharmaceutical research and development.<\/p>\n

Brief description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Early phase assessment of investigational medical technologies requires special skills in health technology assessment, economic modeling, and market research. Innovators or funders should explore policy relevant value propositions, realistic pricing assumptions and market potential before moving ahead or investing in a development program. The course – in addition to providing insights into theory – will mainly be based on case studies. Participants will construct economic models to judge the value-based price of investigational medical technologies, and evaluate their expected net present value to support indication selection and go, no-go decisions.<\/p>\n
