AHED Workshop

  • The 11th Annual Australian Health Economics Doctoral Workshop will be held in conjunction with the AHES Conference 2022.
  • Six research abstracts on any topic in health economics will be competitively selected for inclusion in the program.
  • AHES will award a A$500 prize for the best paper presented at the AHED workshop by a junior researcher.
  • The presenters of the six papers will be offered a $200 travel grant to attend the AHED workshop in Brisbane. They also will be able to attend the main AHES conference free of charge.
  • The workshop is an excellent opportunity to meet other students and health economists before the main conference.
  • All abstracts submitted by PhD students to the main AHES conference will be automatically considered for the AHED workshop. (N.B. Those papers that are not selected for the AHED workshop will be automatically considered for the main AHES conference).
  • Accepted presenters to the AHED workshop will also automatically be accepted to present in a special AHED session at the AHES conference to showcase their work.
  • To be considered for the AHED workshop, students should submit an abstract via the AHES Conference 2022 abstract submission system (by the submission date Sunday 19th June 2022) indicating they are a PhD Student.
