Rückmeldung zum WR-Positionspapier

“Datasets are like silverware”: In an E-HEALTH-COM interview, Iris Pigeot of NFDI4Health explains why health data need a clear strategy – and why compatible infrastructures are crucial in view of the European Health Data Space.

NFDI4Health has just launched a new survey on data sharing in health research. We invite the community to share their perspectives and experiences.

DataSHIELD is a software tool for secure, federated data analysis across continents. The DataSHIELD Community held its annual conference from 23 to 26 September 2025 in Lausanne, Switzerland. NFDI4Health presented its developments.

NFDI4Health sees itself as a collaborative and well-connected player within Germany’s health data research landscape.

NFDI4Health presented its progress in the development of FAIR health data infrastructures at the GMDS Annual Conference 2025. During the closing symposium, an interim assessment was made after five years of NFDI4Health.

The DFG is currently preparing a funding call for data repositories in the context of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). The background to this is the increasing demand for storage capacity for research data, which cannot be met everywhere by local infrastructures. Through this survey, NFDI4Health aims to assess the demand and requirements for data storage capacity, with a particular focus on clinical, epidemiological, and public health study data.
