The big overlap of persons and organizations between HTAi and EuroScan/i-HTS has been since the founding of these organizations. After getting a legal entity the co-operation started also on another level by founding a common working ground for Early Awareness and Disinvestment as a common Interest Group within HTAi together. The IG DEA was founded during the Washington HTAi meeting and is based as part of the MOU between HTAi and EuroScan/iHTS.

Several actions and publications had been the results. The most important topics are :

• Webinars to describe the area of the two organizations
• a curriculum for people training the topic of Early Awareness and Disinvestment

The most recent common activity had been the application as member of the HTA-R stakeholder group of the European Commission. HTAi had joined the action with EuroScan international network.
