ABOUT

The HOPE Exchange Programme started in 1981. It now consists of a 4-week training period intended for managers and other professionals (whatever their background is) with managerial responsibilities. They must be working in hospitals and healthcare facilities and be proficient in the language(s) accepted by the host country. The HOPE Exchange Programme is neither a medical nor a technical programme. It is a multi-professional programme.

Since 1992, the Exchange Programme culminates with the HOPE Agora. This closing conference is considered an integral part of the HOPE Exchange Programme giving the participants the possibility to show and to discuss their observations and conclusions. Every year, as a part of the HOPE Agora, the participants of the HOPE Exchange programme as a group give a presentation of their experiences.

In line with the 2025 topic, ‘Together for Quality’, participants have been invited to identify up-to-three good practices from the following options: focus on collaboration to improve quality, focus on quality, integrated care and digitalisation, strengthening patients’ participation in the healthcare system by increasing (digital) health literacy, health workforce safety, patient and other stakeholder involvement.

The conference will first host experts presenting different approaches at the European level and in Austria. Then the HOPE Exchange Programme participants will share what they learned during their four-week experience abroad.
