II. What is and how to measure value in health? How to model decision-makers and other stakeholders’ views for OR modelling?
III. How to use simulation to produce key information for health decision-making?
IV. How to achieve decision-makers objectives through mathematical programming?
V. How to properly combine methods to solve real health care challenges and promote value-based health care?
 
TARGETED PARTICIPANTS: PhD students (or early career researchers) that are interested to get an in-depth understanding of concepts, methods and tools to the development of OR for value-based health care; are motivated for developing impactful research; may be interested in presenting and discussing their research ideas; and are interested in building a research network.
