About the Observatory
The European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies is one of the leading international knowledge brokers in health systems and policy. Our mission is to provide evidence support to national and international policy-making. We are a WHO hosted partnership that brings together international and European agencies, national governments, decentralized authorities and academic research institutes.
We generate high-quality and comparative evidence that is tailored and packaged to meet the needs of public health and health system policy-makers. Our outputs consist mainly of:
- detailed comparative profiles of all European (and other) health systems;
- analytical studies, policy briefs and articles on policy relevant topics;
- various forms of (face-to-face) engagements and meetings with policy-makers to unpack the evidence.
In 2018 we celebrated our 20th anniversary.

An Artificial Intelligence User Interface (AI/UI) Designer will also be contracted to work with the Observatory Project Manager, and with the UX developers to create a detailed set of design requirements and a clear plan for the organisation of the Observatory’s web information and data (especially its extensive database of publications).
