The European Science Advisory Network for Health (EuSANH), founded in September 2006, is a network of national science advisory bodies in Europe which are active in the field of health.
The objective of EuSANH is to promote independent scientific advice on health issues to national and European health authorities and to support evidence-based health policy. Reports published to fulfil this objective may also be of interest to health professionals and the general public.
To achieve this goal EuSANH will focus on European exchange of information (national reports), mutual consultation of national experts, coordination of work programmes and the joint work on the preparation of European science advisory reports on health.
In February 2009, the EuSANH network established a joint working programme on Improving Science Advice for Health (EuSANH-ISA) with the general objective to improve the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of science advice for health across Europe.

Upcoming events
- WP1 - Coordination of national Work Programmes:
During a 5-months internship, Eveline will analyse all members' work plans for overlapping topics on which collaboratively science advisory reports could be prepared.
- WP2 - Questionnaire Thematic and Policy Analysis:
The questionnaires were completed by > 85% of the EuSANH members. The analysis of the results has started. More information will be presented at the Annual Meeting in Poland. For more information about the questionnaire, click on the titel.
- WP4 - Plan for a sustained structure for EuSANH:
During the Face to Face meeting in The Hague (March 4, 2010) the proposal - prepared by our Belgian partners - was discussed among the steering committee members. The most important key issues were identified and agreement was reached with regard to most of them. More information will be presented at the Annual Meeting in Poland.
- WP5 - Possible topic for case study:
The suggested topic for the joined EuSANH science advisory report is “Determinants of a successful implementation of population based cancer screening programs” and the primary objective is to analyze the processes for the initiation, production and implementation of certain screening programmes in relation to their uptake in different countries.
- Steering Committee - Face to Face meeting, March 4, 2010 (The Hague, Netherlands):
We can look back on a successful meeting, with a number of decisions made and new action points to proceed the further work in our project.
