Masters' Project on EU HTA:
The European Access Academy as multi-stakeholder initiative with strong academic focus and footprint cooperates closely with universities, e.g., when they host EAA Conventions, but also beyond, in collaborative projects. As such, we would like to support a Masters’ project at Erasmus University Rotterdam, which is looking at initial experiences with the implementation of the EU HTAR, with a focus on differences between Eastern and Western European Countries.
We believe this is very timely and important research and would appreciate your contribution by participating in this short survey.
