Welcome
Dear Colleagues,
It is a pleasure for the European Health Economics Association and the local
organizing committee to welcome you to the EuHEA Conference 2022. It
has been a long journey.
We started to plan for the EuHEA Conference 2020 back in 2018. There
were many submitted abstracts, but due to the pandemic, we had to scale
down to a one-day digital conference in July 2020. The 2022 conference
was planned to be in Vienna. Thanks to flexibility of the organizing
committee in Vienna, we are the organizers of the 2022 conference, and the conference in Vienna is
postponed to 2024.
The University of Oslo and the Frisch Centre are happy to be the local hosts of the event. The local
organizing committee also has members from UiT The Arctic University of Norway, NTNU – Norwegian
University of Science and Technology, University of Bergen, and National Institute of Public Health. In this
respect, the conference has also made it possible to strengthen the collaboration between Norwegian
health economics research units.
An aging population, a rising prevalence of chronic health conditions and rapid development in health care
technologies increase the demand for health care. Economic uncertainty and a smaller proportion of the
population employed creates fierce competition for resources between health care and other sectors.
During the previous two and a half years we have also been reminded that pandemics have devastating
effects for health and economic development. This year’s theme is “Health economics for sustainable welfare
systems”. The theme highlights how health economics can contribute to good decisions in a situation with
tensions between a growing demand for health care and a limited amount of resources available. Both the
keynote speeches and the contributed presentations mirror well the conference theme.
There are two social events. The opening reception takes place in the Oslo City Hall and is hosted by the City
of Oslo. After the reception, there is a guided tour of Oslo City Hall. The evening event takes place in the
foyer of the Oslo Opera House. Both places are among the country's iconic buildings.
We hope you will enjoy your stay in Oslo, and not least that you will enjoy the conference’s scientific and
social programs.

Most projects are co-operative work involving the Frisch Centre and researchers in other domestic and
foreign research institutions. The close ties with the Department of Economics reflect the policy of the
Frisch Centre of linking applied and academic research. Doctoral students at the Frisch Centre are enrolled at

station is closed for maintenance
during the conference. We advise
using the Tram instead, but allow
20 minutes for the tram trip in
addition to walking time at both
ends (about 5 minutes from the
tram stop to the GSH building).
Trikk (Tram)
Tram lines 17 and 18 take you from
several stops in the city centre to
the Universitetet Blindern stop.
Remember to activate your ticket or
buy it in the Ruter app beforehand.
T-banen (Tube/Metro)
The metro system is efficient, but because of maintenance work the nearest metro station is Majorstuen.
Get any westbound line from the central stations Jernbanetorget, Stortinget or Nationaltheatret. Remember
to activate your ticket or buy it in the Ruter app beforehand.
From Majorstuen there is a 18 minutes walk to
the main building GSH at the Blindern Campus,

Oslo 2022 | 13Social Program
Opening reception in the
Oslo City Hall,
Tuesday 5th July 2022,
18:00-19:30
The opening reception will take place
in the Oslo City Hall (Oslo rådhus)
where we are greeted by the Mayor
of Oslo, Marianne Borgen. After the
reception, there is a guided tour of Oslo City Hall. Photo: Didrick Stenersen
Inaugurated in 1950, Oslo City Hall is the city's
administrative body and the seat of the City
Council. Oslo City Hall is one of the country's
most iconic buildings. The architects Arnstein
Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson had a clear
idea of what they wanted the building to
represent, and artists helped to substantiate
the architects' vision. The building has been
decorated by Norwegian art from 1900-1950,
with motifs from Norwegian history, culture
and working life.
Photo: Didrick Stenersen
You will receive an
invitation by email for
entering the city hall.
The registration desk
will be available at
Domus Media at the city
centre campus of the
University of Oslo
before the reception
from 16:00 on Tuesday
5th July.
Oslo 2022 | 14Evening event in the
Oslo Opera House,
Thursday 7th July
2022, 19:00-23:00
The event takes place in the foyer
of the Opera House.
operaen.no/en/about-us-oslo-
operahouse/about-the-oslo-
opera-house/
There will be drinks and a buffet of Norwegian inspired tastes. Photo: Didrick Stenersen
Since the opening in 2008, pictures of the angular
architecture seemingly arising from the waters of
Oslo Fjord have become known around the world
and today are considered the keystone signature
of the Oslo Opera House. This was precisely the
intention of the firm of architects behind this
iconic design, Snøhetta, which wanted to make
the roof a platform accessible to all and in so
doing create a new public space in the centre of
Oslo. A parallel wish was to create a new
landscape that would draw together the natural
beauty of Oslo Fjord and the city. In the foyer, we
are met by a light, open space with a large,
undulating oakwood wall.
