15 members of NFDI4Health participated in the annual meeting of the German Society for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS). For the 68th time, the society met in Heilbronn from 17 to 21 September 2023 . 800 people have registered and attend the talks, workshops and discussions. The conference offered an exchange platform for researchers from medical informatics, biometrics and epidemiology. The program ranged from medical training courses and a summer school for young researchers to interdisciplinary lectures.
NFDI4Health contributed to the scientific discourse on building a sustainable and FAIR data infrastructure in health research with the presentation of the white paper on improving record linkage for health research in Germany. NFDI4Health also offered a presentation on requirements for FAIR Data Quality Indicators and an exciting panel discussion on the future of the medical data science field. The 2 NFDI4Health tutorials on FAIR data management tools and FAIRification of study data attracted great interest and resulted in lively discussions. We would like to thank all participants and look forward to the GMDS 2024 in Dresden.
