In 2023, with my Croatian colleague Prof. Ana Bobinac and a gentle push from Prof. Matt Sutton, we founded the Croatian Health Economics Association with the goal of developing a community of health econonomists in Croatia. Currently, our main activity is to run the Croatian Health Economics Workshop, which encourages the exchange of ideas and best practice, with the aim to promote discussion of high-priority topics for the health systems of Central and Eastern European countries (including EU-member and non-member states). More generally, the workshop acts as a platform for transferring knowledge within Central and Eastern Europe and with the broader international community.

See you in 2027!
