The Research Group in Biomedical Data Sciences of UHasselt and The European Institute for Innovation through Health Data are delighted to invite you to the “Big Data in Health and Care: The Arisal of Data Spaces” Symposium.

The term 'data space' has gained a lot of traction lately, specifically with the upcoming 'European Health Data Space' legislation.

The definition of data space is still under discussion. However, we and others describe it as "a decentralized infrastructure for trustworthy data sharing and exchange in data ecosystems, based on commonly agreed principles."

In recent years, a series of health data spaces have arised. However, at the moment, the strategic oversight is lost and many questions remain.

For example:

Which data space initiatives are out there?

How do they relate to each other?

How will they work together/in synergy to maximize the impact?

How will this affect the local data management at the level of the individual data partners?

With this symposium, we aspire to facilitate an in-depth exploration of data spaces and research infrastructures, elucidate challenges and best practices for large-scale projects, and engage in a panel debate on the feasibility of implementing and integrating various data spaces at different levels, all underpinning the advancement of healthcare data sharing and research.

The event plans to highlight different Belgian data spaces and to delve into profound discussions during panel debates, exploring complex topics like challenges and future perspectives in health data sharing and analysis. As will co-moderate the event, the bridge towards Europe is guaranteed.
