FLASH Annual Consortium Meeting took place in Vilnius, Lituania, on June 12th-13th.

The FLASH Consortium gathered for its Annual Meeting, hosted at the University of Vilnius. The FLASH project undertakes a comprehensive analysis of healthcare financing mechanisms in Europe and, by employing a wide range of methodological approaches, it provides evidence on the ability of existing financing mechanisms and contracts to address challenges of the healthcare system and explore new solutions to achieve more effective, efficient, and equitable healthcare systems.

All 16 partners – including universities, research centers, non-profit organizations, and institutions involved in the organization and provision of healthcare in several European countries – came together to share the results obtained during the first year of the project and discuss innovative approaches and findings in healthcare management and policy.

The agenda for the two-day event included a series of insightful presentations by project partners and discussions covering various aspects of healthcare research and policy and it was a great opportunity to review the progress made so far, align on upcoming activities, and strengthen collaboration among partners.
