NFDI4Health

The mission of NFDI4Health is to provide new opportunities for the scientific use of personal health data while respecting privacy requirements. Based on the FAIR principles, services are provided to researchers to permanently store, semantically enrich and share data in interoperable form and to merge data from different sources.

NFDI4Health pursues five main objectives:

1. Further expansion and optimisation of our infrastructures and services for FAIR health data

2. Ensuring the sustainability, interoperability, and quality of our offerings

3. Promoting a cultural shift towards FAIR data sharing in the health sector

4. Involving a broad community and the general public

5. Fostering the implementation of the European Health Data Space

NFDI4Health increases the performance and quality of health science research and thus helps to improve the health of the population. NFDI4Health will achieve this aim by increasing the national and international visibility of health science research, by strengthening the reputation of researchers who share their data, and by fostering new collaborations. The resulting infrastructures will bridge the gap between users and providers of epidemiological, public health and clinical trial data.

The consortium consists of an interdisciplinary team of 14 partner institutions. In addition, 52 renowned institutions and individuals from the healthcare sector have confirmed their participation, and letters of support have been received from eight (inter)national institutions.

NFDI4Health provides a technical infrastructure and efficient services for FAIR health data. The aim of these services is to make data from health research findable and accessible, while ensuring data protection and adherence to ethical standards. Users are also supported through a wide range of support and training services.
