NFDI4Health convened with participating research projects on citizen participation in early April in Oldenburg. During a closing workshop, the excellent results of the projects were presented and the important aspect of the citizen perspective was highlighted. It was a successful day with exciting insights!

NFDI4Health is launching a new project funding program of 12,000 € on the topic of knowledge transfer through diversity. All creative minds with innovative ideas for communicating our concepts and services for FAIR health data are highly encouraged to apply.

NFDI4Health and experts from politics, science, and healthcare met in Berlin on 13 March 2024 to discuss the topic of record linkage – the linkage of health data from diverse sources for an individual. The participants consider the meeting a success and are planning further steps: ultimately, the entire population could benefit.

The Council of the European Union (EU) and the European Parliament have reached a provisional agreement on the European Health Data Space (EHDS). The EHDS aims to facilitate patients' access to and control over their personal digital health data. NFDI4Health considers this development to be a significant step for the future of our health research.

At this event, you will dive into the world of health research and learn firsthand how you, as citizens, can participate. Gain insight into exciting research projects and discover ways to actively shape health research. Be there as citizens meet research head-on!
