Did You Know?
IHEA curates a teaching materials repository, which can be found here. You can find a range of PowerPoint lecture slides, case studies, audio-visual and other material that can be used by academics in their health economics courses with appropriate acknowledgement. A key objective of the repository is to promote quality health economics teaching through the sharing and use of material as open educational resources. Why not contribute some of your teaching material through the repository!

Calling all health economists working in parts of the world that have not yet hosted an IHEA congress!
Do you work in an institution with a team of health economists who are eager to bring the largest gathering of health economists from around the world to your country? IHEA has just released its call for expressions of interest in hosting the 2027 World Congress on Health Economics and is eager to receive proposals from underrepresented regions. We particularly encourage proposals from regions that have not hosted many, or any, IHEA congresses before. You can view past IHEA Congress locations here.
Proposals must be initiated and led by health economists based in universities or other research organizations, who would act as the local organizing committee.
You can find full information on what your proposal should contain here. The deadline for proposals is June 11, 2024.
