Early Career Network

Overview

Established in 2011, the HTAi Early Career Network helps to connect young professionals or those new to the field of HTA.

The Network helps members to share resources, methods, and information, build expertise, and develop contacts. It seeks to bring together people from various backgrounds, and aims to enrich professional development and promote awareness of HTA and international developments.

Activities

Initially, the Early Career Network will work to share information, announcements, resources, and other discussions through the group’s webpage, email list serve, and Facebook Group. The Network will also provide a networking icebreaker at HTAi Annual Meetings for young professionals and new attendees.

Future activities may include formal collaborations, discussion papers, mentorship support, or other initiatives suggested by members.
