The role of data infrastructures for health research is not limited to acting as a service or interface for data exchange between data producers and data users. Rather, the infrastructure itself is an actor in the process of data sharing and therefore also bears responsibility for this process.

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. Mælstrom Research works also with many European partners in epidemiological research consortia. The meeting was conducted to establish a strong cooperation between the Mælstrom Research group and NFDI4Health, to foster study data sharing internationally along with an international standing and visibility.
The 17th annual meeting of the German Society for Epidemiology (DGEpi) e.V., the professional representation of epidemiologists in Germany, took place from September 26-29, 2022 in Greifswald. NFDI4Health sought intensive exchange with the community through workshops, presentations, and an exhibition booth.
The annual autumn workshop of the working groups "Statistical Methods in Medicine" (IBS-DR), "Statistical Methods in Epidemiology" (IBS-DR, DGEpi, DGSMP), "Statistical Methods in Clinical Research" (GMDS) and "Epidemiological Methods" (DGEpi, GMDS, DGSMP) in cooperation with NFDI4Health and TMF e.V. is projected to take place November 17th–18th at the premises of the TMF e.V. in central Berlin. Participation will also be possible online.
We are looking forward to offering numerous presentations and workshops at the 17th Annual Meeting of the German Society for Epidemiology. An overview can be found here.
