The Expert Panel members meet regularly in the plenary meetings and in meetings of the drafting groups, which are set up for the purpose of drafting specific opinions. Public hearings are organised before the opinion is finalised to provide stakeholders with an opportunity to share their views on the draft opinion. To promote the work of the Panel and to raise public awareness on evidence-based policy-making on country-specific and cross-country knowledge in the field of health the conferences/workshops might be organised.
Plenary meetings
The Expert Panel members meet regularly in the plenary meetings organised 4-5 times a year.
Drafting/working groups
After the Expert Panel receives a mandate from the Commission to draft an opinion, it sets up a drafting/working group, composed of members of the Panel with requested expertise. In case additional, specific expertise/support is needed, external expert(s) might be involved in the work of the group.
