The PECUNIA project aims to develop new standardised and validated methods for the assessment of costs and outcomes of healthcare interventions for optimised health care provision within and across European countries. It is funded from the European Union’s H2020 research and innovation programme for three years (Kick-Off Meeting, Vienna, 14-16 January 2018). The multidisciplinary PECUNIA consortium consists of ten partners from six countries and is led by Professor Judit Simon. Prof Simon and her team at the DHE will also oversee the integration and scientific management of the project, develop harmonised, multi-sectoral unit cost assessment methods, and collate comprehensive information on relevant outcome measurement instruments.
