Presentation

On behalf of the European Health Economics Association, the Italian Health Economics Association and the Department of Economics and Business of the University of Catania, we are pleased to invite you to attend the 5th EuHEA PhD Student-Supervisor and Early Career Researcher Conference.

The objective of the conference is to provide an opportunity to PhD students and young researchers to present their research and to discuss it in depth with senior health economists and fellow young researchers with expertise in their field of study. The conference provides an excellent platform to advance a thesis chapter or a research manuscript, to network with peers and to gain new insights and collaborations with others interested in the same topic.

Conference session format:
25 minute presentation by the author
15 minute discussion by another student/ECR's supervisor
20 minutes for questions and general discussion

The conference will take place between 5th - 7th September 2018.
