NFDI4Health meets with Mælstrom Research in Montréal, Canada

The Canadian Mælstrom Research group [1] has built one of the largest catalogue of epidemiological studies in the world, and develops methods, classifications and software to make epidemiological studies discoverable, comparable and prepares them for joint data analyses.
