LOLAHESG 2019

The 11^th edition of the lolaHESG (lowlands Health Economic Study Group) conference will be held on May 23-24, 2019. Everyone from the Netherlands, Belgium and abroad interested in health economics is warmly invited to attend the event. You can register for the conference here.

The conference fee covers two conference days including one breakfast, one dinner, two times lunch, coffee and tea during the breaks, a fabulous party, and one overnight stay. This is a fixed fee, which also applies if you attend only part of the conference. The conference fee is €275 (early bird tariff until March 31) or €295 (from April 1). 

As in previous years, much time will be devoted to in-depth discussions of papers reflecting work in progress. The conference will therefore offer an excellent opportunity to get feedback on your research, to informally exchange ideas with other health economic / HTA researchers, and for networking.
