Projects
MEDI-VALUE - Developing HTA tools to consensualise MEDICAL DEVICES' VALUE through multicriteria decision analysis
The MEDI-VALUE project aims at advancing Health Technology Assessment (HTA) literature by developing innovative methodologies and tools to assess the multidimensional value of Medical Devices, being ultimately aligned with promoting resilient health systems that balance access to care with innovation and sustainability.
EURO-HEALTHY – Shaping EUROpean policies to promote HEALTH equitY
Develop a technological platform - a Geoportal, to provide a snapshot of the health of the European population over multiple dimensions and geographical levels. A Population Health Index (PHI) was proposed.
IMPACT HTA - Improved methods and Actionable Tools for enhancing Health Technology Assessment
IMPACT HTA is a research project looking at new and improved methods across ten thematic areas aiming at:
understanding variations in costs and health outcomes within and across countries, and
integrating clinical and economic data from different sources to improve methods in economic evaluation in the context of HTA and health system performance measurement
ANICARE - ERASMUS+ project Educate animal welfare as farming opportunity
Anicare is a European project supporting the teaching of animal welfare. It offers an innovative educational approach based on filmed animal husbandry practices and an Aniphi exchange platform, with a view to encouraging critical, ethical and creative thinking, with respect for the animal and the farmer.
