This online training introduces the core legal principles for handling health data in research in an interactive format. Participants engage with the fundamental principles of the GDPR, in particular the qualification of personal data (pseudonymisation and anonymisation), the legal bases for processing (especially sensitive health data), as well as the secondary use of data for research. The training builds on questions that researchers have asked as part of the NFDI4Health consultation service, which participants will be able to answer themselves after the training.

The annual conference of the German Society for Epidemiology (DGEpi) will take place in Ulm from 22 to 24 September 2026. NFDI4Health will be represented with a presentation and an information stand.
