Research Network HTA aims to research and improve the work of Zorginstituut Nederland (ZIN), and to connect researchers at ESHPM (especially the HCG, HE and HTA sections), Utrecht University (UIPS) and policymakers at ZIN. On a regular basis, network participants meet to discuss ongoing research together, put relevant topics on the agenda and think of new ways to have an impact on ZIN's work and beyond. Thus, this workshop provides a unique venue for research-policy interaction. Below you can find references to ongoing and already completed research projects, do not hesitate to contact us if you wish.
