Once a year, our NFDI4Health consortium comes together for an in-person exchange. This year, around 70 of us met in Berlin on 2 and 3 November 2026.

An Interdisciplinary Team, One Mission
All NFDI4Health consortium members come from different disciplines and have diverse professional backgrounds. But what motivates us every day is the same: creating structures that make health data from research findable and accessible. We work towards this goal every day at locations across Germany - and once a year, we come together in person.

NFDI and EHDS: Changing landscapes
One focus of the discussions was the structural changes within the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) that are due to take place from 2028 onwards. How will these changes affect our work and collaboration within the NFDI? The European Health Data Space (EHDS) was another important topic. With the EHDS, a shared European legal and infrastructure framework is gradually being introduced to enable the cross-border use of health data. This is intended to improve medical care and scientific analyses. In the context of these new developments, one question is particularly important to us: how can our services and tools be effectively integrated into this new setting?

NFDI4Health and NUM SN: Important Partners
Guests from the NUM Study Network (NUM SN) were also invited to this year's meeting. Together, we discussed technical interfaces, communication activities and our future cooperation. We value the collaboration and exchange with our partners and would like to thank them for taking part.
