EDiHTA consortium convenes for 2nd General Assembly meeting

Last week, the EDiHTA consortium came together online for the second General Assembly meeting. The two-day meeting, held on December 3rd and 5th, 2024, provided an excellent opportunity for the consortium to review the significant progress made in the first year of the EDiHTA project and prepare for the upcoming steps towards the design and development of the EDiHTA framework in 2025.

More than 50 participants from all 16 EDiHTA partners participated in the meeting, allowing for fruitful scientific discussions and updates across all work packages. The work package leaders presented their progress, challenges, and next steps, as well as their interactions with other work packages.

The first day of the meeting focused on updates from work packages 2, 3, and 4.

  • WP2: Data security and privacy policy requirements for EDiHTA.
  • WP3: EDiHTA framework design.
  • WP4: EDiHTA Framework Development.

Interactive activities during the meeting allowed partners to collaborate and address the most challenging points, while also gathering valuable feedback from the rest of the consortium to further use in their work.

The second day began with updates from the remaining work packages 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

  • WP1: Project coordination and innovation management.
  • WP5: EDiHTA Framework Digitalisation.
  • WP6: EDiHTA Framework piloting, evaluation and finalisation.
  • WP7: EDiHTA Outreach.
  • WP8 Education and Exploitation.

A special session dedicated to scientific dissemination, led by project coordinator Americo Cicchetti, allowed partners to explore potential strategies for sharing the project’s results next year. The meetings were expertly moderated by the EDiHTA Project Manager Emmanouil Tsasiotis.

Things to take away from the first year of EDiHTA: I can clearly see the strong motivation to deliver high-quality scientific work, which is key to the project’s success. It’s exciting to observe how this positively influences our progress and helps establish a creative and constructive environment. Finally, change management is critical. With new partners (Italian MoH) and people joining the project, it’s essential to navigate and manage these changes effectively to ensure we stay on track whilst we continue with accurate, timely and transparent communication and collaboration amongst the members of the consortium.

Emmanouil Tsasiotis,

EDiHTA Project Manager

In conclusion, it was admitted by all partners that the first year of the project required hard work both in scientific and coordinating terms, showcasing the consortium’s potential and dedication.

Thank you to everyone involved for a successful and productive General Assembly meeting, and for sharing their work with the consortium.
