HERG Virtual Research Seminar

Virtual Research Seminar Series

This initiative is led by PhD students. Our aim is to provide web-based meetings for doctoral researchers in health economics. We invite oral presentations on work-in-progress from PhD students conducting research with a focus on health economics. This is a distinctive opportunity to interact with colleagues with no travel time or costs. The meetings will encourage high quality, and positive academic feedback, and create opportunities for developing new and lasting collaborations.
