• an introduction to health economics and economic evaluation in research 
• study design for economic evaluation in oncology research 
• identifying, valuing and measuring outcomes 
• identifying, valuing and measuring costs 
• interpretation of results of economic evaluations

Participants at the workshop will receive a USB with course notes, presentation slides, references used in examples and additional useful readings. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
