EuSANH

The second day is dedicated to sharing information and expertise among staff members of the Science Advisory Bodies and on fine-tuning of EuSANH members’ work programmes for 2010. This day will be introduced by a key lecture of professor Martin McKee: ‘How can we best support evidence- informed policy making’. Staff members are invited to give presentations on recently finalised or ongoing science advisory reports from their organisations.

The first annual meeting of EuSANH(-ISA) will take place on April 28-29, 2010 in Warsaw, Poland.

This first day will be dedicated to our EuSANH-ISA project. After an opening speech by representatives of the European Commission (Mr N. Fahy of DG Sanco and Mr K. McCarthy of DG Research are invited) and the Polish Ministry of Health, the progress in various work packages will be discussed. Further the External Advisory Committee (EAC) shall be invited to comment on the work progress and draft reports. Professor Martin Mc Kee, one of our advisors, will give his reflection on the EuSANH-ISA project at the end of the first day.
