Towards a citizen-centric health data sharing approach for care, research and beyond

The InteropEHRate Final Conference will be held on 28 September 2022 at the University of Liège, Belgium. It will bring together the knowledge and experience gained during the implementation of the project to improve health data sharing for care and research. 

The event will be hybrid allowing virtual and on-site participation of those interested in discussing how to advance towards a citizen-centric health data sharing approach. All attendees, both present on-site or connected virtually will have thus the opportunity to interact with the speakers and the audience.

The final conference’s main aim is to present InteropEHRate’s key results to an audience of multiple stakeholders that range from policymakers to different types of potential adopters including European, national, regional and local health authorities, healthcare providers, health research centres and health technology companies.
