Coordinator of the joint action
Denmark (represented by the National Board of Health), through the secretariat of the EUnetHTA collaboration project.
Meetings
Following preparatory meetings in 2009, the Joint Action formally started in January 2010 and will run until the end of 2012. Two annual meetings are central to the overall governing of the project: The annual meeting of the Stakeholder Forum (consisting of European umbrella organisations representing industry, patients/consumers, health professionals and health financing) and the Joint Action Plenary Assembly (where all involved HTA agencies participate, as well as observers from the Stakeholder Forum). Both these events take place in May each year.
Joint Action on HTA
Financed by the EU health programme, the purpose of this project is to
- facilitate efficient use of HTA resources in Europe
- create a sustainable system of HTA knowledge sharing
- promote good practice in HTA methods and processes
Implementation
The Executive Agency for Health and Consumers implements the EU health programme, manages the selected projects and works on the joint action mechanism.
