The Health Economics and Decision Science group at the University of Sheffield are proud to be hosting the Health Economists’ Study Group (HESG) summer conference. All details are available at: http://www.shef.ac.uk/scharr/sections/heds/hesg09
The HESG invites the submission of papers on any relevant health economics topic for the 22-24th July meeting in Sheffield. Preference will be given to work-in-progress and PhD students. The HESG meeting will follow its standard format with papers submitted in advance, introduced and reviewed by a discussant other than that author.
Please send a title and abstract of up to 250 words of the proposed content by 22nd May 2009 5pm if you wish to have a paper considered. The following abstract structure is preferred, although a different structure would be acceptable if justified:
- Title, authors and contact details
- Aims
- Methods
- Data (if any)
- Results
- Conclusions
Note - Please do not include Tables/Graphics/Diagrams in your abstract. Please submit abstracts by e-mail, with a subject header HESG ABSTRACT and include the abstract in the BODY of the message to: hesg-july09@sheffield.ac.uk
Selection Criteria
Papers on any health economics topic will be considered. Please note that there is a restriction on the number of slots available for papers, and there is no guarantee that your abstract will be accepted. In the case of over-subscription, the academic panel will select papers on the following basis:
- Only abstracts submitted before the deadline will be considered
- Papers by PhD students are encouraged
- Work-in-progress papers and those at an early stage of development are encouraged
- Papers with little or no economics content will be rejected
- Reproduced papers and reports (especially those written for other audiences) and reproduced book chapters are likely to be rejected
- Authors, or sets of authors (but not institutions or units), may be restricted to one paper
- If all the above criteria are satisfied and there is still over-subscription, papers will be selected on the basis of first-come-first served.
Registration
Registration for delegates is now available, full details and registration forms are available online. Registration is available until 1st July 2009.
