Health Economics at UCL
Friday 18 November 2016
Venue: UCL Wilkins Main Quad Pavilion
This half-day event is open to researchers from all faculties across UCL who work on health economics in a wide variety of areas, including psychiatry, statistical science, global health, applied health research and clinical trials and methodology.
Event purpose
UCL has significant strength in health economic research, however, key researchers at UCL that work in this area are often unfamiliar with other scientists who work in different faculties and departments. This is a missed opportunity therefore this event aims to bring this diverse range of researchers together in order to network, share expertise across UCL and encourage new research collaborations such as new grant applications and joint publications.
Event format
As you will see from the draft programme below, the first half of the event will consist of presentations from key departments working within health economics. The second half of the event will be a round table session chaired by Professor Dame Anne Johnson.
The event will be followed by a networking lunch.

This event is aimed at researchers (PhD student and above) working in health economics at UCL.

Organized by
The UCL Populations & Lifelong Health Domain brings together researchers and practitioners across UCL and beyond, to explore the factors that determine health and disease in populations, and to develop, test, and measure the impact of interventions and service improvement to enhance the health and wellbeing of the public, and reduce inequalities in health status.
Sitting within the Populations & Lifelong Health Domain is the Health Economics theme-
