As a part of a strategic investment, Halmstad University (HU) has opened a search for a prestigious and exciting named position (chair) of Bennet Chair, a full professor in the area of health management and economics. The establishment of this chair represents the commitment of Halmstad University to develop a leadership in Health Innovation, with a focus on Co-created care improvement. The candidate is expected to lead the university in the next steps of the development of the Health Innovation profile. The goal is to advance knowledge in the theoretical and methodological basis of implementing and evaluating health innovations from the value-based and co-creation perspective.

The area of Co-created care improvement aims to integrate the tradition of health economic evaluation, co-creation and business model innovation into the current research portfolio of Health Innovation.

The funds for this chair are provided by Carl Bennet AB, who funds research at selected universities and institutions in Sweden. These research efforts are being made to build and strengthen knowledge environments in both national and international perspectives.
