Join the HTA ESIG!
If you would like to join the Healthcare Technology Assessment European Special Interest Group (HTA ESIG) please complete this membership request form.
You will then be invited to our future meetings (monthly - see our meeting calendar), and be included in any relevant ESIG emails.
We have recently launched request for information / collaboration within our HTA Statistics / Health Economics / Evidence Synthesis Community. We believe that it would be very helpful and beneficial for all of us who lead teams and departments in this area to better understand how our peers organize their groups and their work. This could trigger a discussion about how we could work more efficiently, what best practices we are willing to share and how we can argue for resources.

How to get in touch
If you have any questions relating to HTA or need further information please contact Ursula Becker, Arthur Allignol and Katrin Kupas. (Co-Chairs).
Upcoming Events
PSI Book Club: Change: How organisations achieve hard-to-imagine results in uncertain and volatile times
Organizations have to adapt to the transforming landscape of our industry to ensure they continue to be successful in the future. Many of us are feeling the impact of organizational change. By reading John P Kotter’s book we can understand about organizational change and learn how to thrive, rather than just survive, through change. Change, by John P Kotter (and his team), is a summary of all that he has learned over his decades of research and leading change. His book describes why many current approaches to change are inadequate and explains why new solutions need to give people a voice and a role in a new, change-embracing organization. Develop your understanding of organisational change and become empowered to be part of your organisation’s change, by reading Change by John P Kotter and joining the Sept-Dec 2025 book club. You will be invited to join facilitated discussions of the concepts and ideas and apply knowledge from the book in-between sessions.
