This year´s Heidelberg Health Economics Summer School, an interactive, high-level program offered by InnoVal^HC under the auspices of the Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg, will be “the” opportunity to learn more about the Basics of Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) for Health Technology Assessments (HTAs).

The Summer School 2025 will take place again in the Dolomites – at the NOBIS conference center, opened in 2023 by the city of Bruneck-Brunico (Pustertal-Val Pusteria) in cooperation with the “Nature of Innovation” (NOI) network of research institutes rooted in South Tyrol / Italy and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano.

This year´s Introductory Module will be a three-day scientific program covering (and challenging) the conventional paradigm of HTA and cost effectiveness, facilitated by relevant exercises and case studies.

The Intro Module will focus on the state-of-the-art of CEA as a tool to inform HTAs. Topics covered during the intense three-day basic program will include

• cost effectiveness evaluation in theory & practice;
• [health-related] quality of life & patient-reported outcomes;
• the socioeconomic dimension of severe diseases;
• social norms & preferences in HTAs;
• impact for the evaluation of cancer medicines.

The Summer School 2025 is aimed for academics, physicians & pharmacists as well as professionals.

With the Introductory Module, we offer a highly active basic program primarily for individuals with limited experience of health economic evaluation methods, in particularly with regard to the basics of (the use of) CEA for HTA.
