From Theory to Practice: Implementing the EU Health Technology Assessment Regulation

This half-day stakeholder event focused on the implementation of the European Union's Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Regulation. The event brought together key stakeholders from France and Germany, including national HTA administrators and representatives from national stakeholders such as patient associations, health professionals, scientific societies, industry representatives, national decision-makers and regional health authorities.

Date and time: Tuesday, 5 November 2024, 9:00 – 12:30 CET

This event was part of a series of regional information events that have been organised across the EU by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Health and Food Safety and the Heads of HTA Agencies Group (HAG), together with national HTA agencies.

At the event in Paris, the European Commission provided an overview of the new EU HTA Regulation. This was followed by panel discussions, featuring local speakers who discussed key topics related to the implementation of the regulation. The event was held in English with interpretation in German and French.

The panels covered the following topics, among others to be discussed:

• Understanding key elements of the EU HTA Regulation
• Challenges and opportunities in the implementation process
• Involving stakeholders in EU HTA implementation

The panel discussion included time for Q&A and audience participation, with the opportunity to engage in lively and constructive discussions.

At this event, stakeholders from France and Germany were prioritised as attendees. Participants at the onsite location were selected and invited as spaces at the venue are very limited.
