There's still time to submit your topic for Closing the Gaps!
Closing the Gaps is about creating space for the conversations that may not yet be on the program agenda, but are deeply relevant to our global HTA community. This new program feature is derived from the HTAi Scientific Development & Capacity Building Committee's Gaps & Needs initiative, which aims to identify critical hot topics in HTA where further attention, development, or action is needed across the global community. Your input will directly shape that work.
We want to know:
- What’s keeping you up at night?
- What emerging challenges or big questions do you wish more people were talking about?
- What real-time issues do you want to explore with your peers?
Submit a topic and vote on the ones already submitted!
Get involved! Here's how it works...
- Submit a Topic: Share your idea via our simple survey tool. Include a short description and a few guiding questions.
- Vote and Share: All delegates can view submitted topics, upvote their favorites, and express interest in joining a session.
- Join the conversation: The top 5–7 topics will become live, facilitator-led conversations during our Closing the Gaps networking session on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.
- Connect and Reflect: Each discussion group will include a facilitator to help guide the dialogue and capture key insights—ensuring the conversation lives beyond the meeting itself.
We believe the most powerful conversations are the ones we create together. We want to hear from you!
