Fifth Ireland Masterclass in Health Economics: 2026

At the Ireland Masterclasses in Health Economics, internationally prominent senior researchers share their cutting-edge research with early-career health economists (assistant professors, post-doctoral researchers, and PhD students). The event also includes professional development sessions, such as a “Meet the Editors” event to discuss publication strategies with the editors of health economics journals.

The event is run on a strictly non-profit basis. Generous support from sponsors allows us to cap delegate fees. Those fees cover all classes as well as lunches, tea/coffee during breaks, and a dinner to be held during the week.
