HTA networks

Our active engagement with various national and international HTA networks ensures not only that knowledge is shared with other HTA agencies but also that HTA methodology is continuously developed.

The various HTA networks we collaborate with are presented below. Further information can be found on the networks’ websites.

SNHTA – Swiss Network for Health Technology Assessment

The Swiss Network for Health Technology Assessment (SNHTA) was founded as an association in 1999. It brings together Swiss scientific institutions and experts in order to make the most of scientific excellence through the use of synergies. SNHTA website

EUnetHTA – European Network for Health Technology Assessment

EUnetHTA was established to create an effective and sustainable network for HTA across Europe – the aim was to support the preparation of reliable, timely, transparent and transferable information and thus to contribute to the strengthening of HTA in European countries. Swiss HTA experts have participated in various EUnetHTA working groups. EUnetHTA was completed on schedule in 2023. The knowledge gained and methods developed contributed significantly to the drafting of the new EU regulation on HTA.
