Registration for the UCL Health Economics Symposium has now ended.

For those who didn't manage to secure a ticket in advance, you are welcome to come to the venue during registration and we will be able to register you on the day.

This one-day Symposium, organised by the UCL Populations & Lifelong Health Domain, will bring together a wide range of health economists, providing a great oppotunity for you to find out more about health economics research at UCL and further afield.

The day will take a life course approach. The morning will focus on health economics in early childhood, followed by later childhood and adolescence. After lunch, attendees will hear from relevant research funders about their strategic vision for health economics funding, and the afternoon will continue through the life course, focusing on adulthood and the elderly.

Speakers from UCL and beyond will present their innovative research and answer your questions. Attendees will also enjoy two keynote lectures from internationally leading speakers.

There is no registration fee for this event, and food and drink will be provided. Due to space limitations timely registration is essential.
