How can Europe use health data for research safely and responsibly in the future? At the first international workshop of the EHDS project group, more than 90 participants and representatives of three European initiatives discussed timelines, national experiences and practical opportunities for collaboration.

A delegation from Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW), Academia Sinica, the National Biobank Consortium of Taiwan and the National Health Research Institutes visited NFDI4Health for an international exchange on Trusted Research Environments (TREs), health data management and secure data use in research.

Five days of scientific exchange and new perspectives: from 27 September to 1 October 2026, ISCB GMDS 2026 brought together international experts from medicine and data science in Freiburg. NFDI4Health was also strongly represented.

At the Conference on Social and Economic Data (KSWD) in Berlin, discussions focused on the future of research data access in Germany. Key topics included secure infrastructures, improved data linkage, and new legal frameworks. NFDI4Health contributed its perspective to the debate.

How much digital support does a clinical study need to, in a sense, navigate itself? This was the key question addressed at the NUM Sn General Assembly 2026. With the Health Study Hub and its participation in the panel discussion, NFDI4Health contributed practical insights to the debate.

How can health data be meaningfully linked across Europe without compromising its scientific validity? A study from NFDI4Health provides important insights on this topic and is contributing to discussions on the design of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) within the framework of TEHDAS.
