Special emphasis will be given to the assessment of policy effectiveness with the presentation of methods such as impact evaluation and cost-effectiveness analysis. The comprehensive framework will cover the evaluation of the policies’ efficiency, impact, equity, acceptability, relevance, and sustainability, and will be applied to the analysis of concrete health and social policies in Austria and internationally.
