EUnetHTA aims at supporting collaboration between European HTA agencies and reducing Schlömer (DIMDI), Raf Mertens (KCE),
Smiljana Blagojevic (LBI-HTA), Stéphanie
duplication of work. HTA collaborative work encompasses use of methods, information and Bankoussou (HAS), Susanna Allgurin Neikter
(SBU), Susanne Eksel (SBU)
document sharing, and the use of tools supporting the daily work of HTA doers.
WP6 plays an important role on the latter:
- By providing a discussion forum, the WP6 working group, where common standards are
evaluated and agreed on, WP6 supports interoperability of EUnetHTA tools, and therefore
facilitates the daily work of EUnetHTA partners
- By opening the developed IT framework to other WPs, WP6 supports the reduction of
duplication of effort, and prepares a future and better integrated Information Management
System for EUnetHTA partners
The EUnetHTA Joint Action
(2010 - 2012) is funded by the
European Union in the
framework of the EU Health
Programme.
