HTA Capacity Building (HAG insight)

Project lead: Agenas, Italy
Project team: Consortium of 15 HTA institutes; AIHTA: Judit Erdös
Duration: November 2024 – February 2027

Background:
The HAG Insight project aims to strengthen the long-term capacity and expertise of HTA institutes in the EU. This initiative will not only establish a comprehensive training platform for HTA regulatory processes and methods, but will also develop a competence framework detailing the expertise required to conduct joint clinical assessments and scientific advice. This framework will serve as a guide for national and regional HTA institutes to help them recruit or identify suitable staff with the required skills and competencies. A consortium of 15 HTA institutes will implement the project, led by Agenas in Italy.

Methods:
The training courses include online courses, recorded modules and tutorials. The competency framework is developed through systematic research in academic sources as well as job adverts and CVs of reviewers, interviews and focus groups.

Role of AIHTA:
The AIHTA is part of the advisory body. During regular meetings with the committee, the members discuss and review results and milestones.
