Further Details Second Ireland Masterclass in Health Economics
Building on the success of the inaugural Ireland Masterclass in Health Economics held in Galway in 2016, Queens University Belfast will host the second Ireland Masterclass in Health Economics between April 3rd and April 6th 2018. It is organized by Professors Ciaran O’Neill, John Cawley, and John Mullahy.

Delegates will be exposed to the latest research in lectures, laboratories and smaller informal discussion sessions and given hands-on experience in the use of data in laboratory sessions. They will also have the opportunity to meet and discuss publication strategies with editors of leading academic journals, and with policy advisers on ensuring the effective translation of research into policy design and practice. The event is run on a strictly non-profit basis. Generous support from sponsors (AbbVie Limited, GSK, Novartis, Pfizer and Roche) allows us to cap delegate fees at £300 for the week - £200 for those registering before December 31st.
