Co-operation with HTAi
HTAi as partner of EuroScan / iHTS
From the beginning, there has been substantial overlap in people and institutions involved in HTAi and EuroScan / i-HTS. With the creation of a legal entity, this informal collaboration was formalised through a shared platform for Early Awareness and Disinvestment: the joint HTAi Interest Group on Disinvestment and Early Awareness (IG DEA), founded at the HTAi meeting in Washington as part of the MoU between HTAi and EuroScan / i-HTS.
Since then, several joint activities and publications have emerged from this collaboration, focusing in particular on early awareness, horizon scanning, disinvestment and knowledge translation between research, HTA and policy.
Interest Group on Disinvestment and Early Awareness
The IG was established in 2014 as a joint action at the HTAi annual meeting in Washington, DC, following negotiations under our Memorandum of Understanding.
