October 22, 2025 | Université d’Angers, France & online via Microsoft Teams
On 22 October 2025, leading researchers, policy experts, and practitioners will gather at the Université d’Angers – and online – for the METEOR Workshop on Economic Valuation. The event will address how methods for valuing health-related costs of environmental stressors can strengthen European and local decision-making.
The workshop, hosted at Amphi Lagon, Faculté DEG, and accessible remotely via Microsoft Teams, brings together participants to exchange insights on how scientific evidence can be translated into policy and economic assessments that better capture the true costs of environmental stressors.
Agenda highlights
From science to policy: Linking economic valuation to EU and local deliberations, with contributions from the European Commission, ISGlobal, HEAL, and ADEME.
Valuation methods: Presentations on health endpoints from the SWACHE project, complexity in valuing multiple outcomes, and approaches to measuring morbidity with QALYs and DALYs.
Meta-analyses and case studies: A global synthesis of the value of statistical life (VSL), valuation of quality-of-life improvements, and new evidence from the post-industrial region of Taranto.
This one-day hybrid event will serve as a platform to advance methodological discussions and foster collaboration across disciplines, helping to ensure that economic valuation can more effectively support public health and environmental policies.
