Health Economics

Learn how health economic analyses can boost your project's value, secure funding, and pave the way for successful implementation in healthcare.

The event is hosted by Aarhus University, The Kitchen, and BETA.HEALTH.

Do you want to ensure that your research and innovative solutions make the journey from the laboratory to patients' daily lives—while also meeting the healthcare system's strict demands for effectiveness and cost-efficiency? Health economics is the key to speaking the language of decision-makers when it comes to convincing both funding bodies and investors.

In this masterclass, you will learn how health economic analyses can enhance the commercial potential of your projects, document their value to the healthcare system, and ensure smoother implementation. Gain insights into how economic arguments can become your greatest asset in the fight for both patients' health and the success of your innovations.
