Call for abstracts - IHEA World Congress on Health Economics

Abstract submissions are now open for the 2025 IHEA World Congress on Health Economics, which will be held in Bali from 19-23 July 2025.

As this is likely to be the closest it gets to NZ for a while (just a 9-hour flight from Auckland!) this is a rare opportunity to present your work to an international audience.

See below for the call for abstracts from IHEA.

Call for abstracts: 2025 IHEA World Congress on Health Economics

IHEA is pleased to invite you to join us at the Bali International Convention Centre, Westin Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali for the 16th World Congress on Health Economics from July 19th – 23rd, 2025. IHEA Congresses are well established as the forum to engage around the latest research in health economics from around the world, the implications of this research for health policy and practice, and new methodological developments in the discipline.

We would like to encourage health economists and economists to make submissions in the form of an individual abstract or an organized session. Abstract submissions are due to open in mid-August 2024 and will close on November 19th, 2024.

Abstracts should be a maximum of 500 words and should focus on research that is yet to be published. Organized sessions should take the form of an integrated set of 3-4 presentations; the inclusion of one or more formal discussants is encouraged. Proposals for organized sessions should include a description of the session (maximum of 400 words), including how participant discussion will be promoted, as well as a 500 word abstract for each paper that will be presented.

To foster diversity and promote submission of high quality abstracts, each person will be restricted to submitting only two abstracts where they are the presenter. This could include:

• two individual abstracts,

• one individual abstract and one as part of an organized session, or

• two presentations as part of two organized sessions.

Abstract submitters will be asked to identify the most relevant health economics primary field and sub-fields to which their research relates. This allows us to ensure that every submission is reviewed by appropriate experts in those sub-fields and that sessions are organized to include similar topics.

Submissions will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and the outcomes of the review process will be announced in late February, 2025.

Information on the health economics fields, sub-fields and other aspects of abstract submission is available here.

For any enquiries about the submission process please contact ihea@healtheconomics.org.

We look forward to having you participate in our congress in Bali next year.
