JARDIN Hackathon on Health Data Federated Querying: an opportunity to contribute to the HEREDITARY project

by | Feb 26, 2025 | Events

The HEREDITARY consortium will take part in the upcoming JARDIN Hackathon on Health Data Federated Querying, an event organized by the European Commission. The Hackathon aims to tackle key challenges in integrating sensitive health data across multiple institutions while exploring innovative solutions. Its objectives align closely with our project’s goals, particularly in the fields of federated analytics and learning. A key focus will be enabling federated queries, allowing researchers to extract valuable insights without compromising patient privacy or data security.

This initiative brings together experts from diverse fields, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange to address these complex issues effectively.

Key topics to be explored during the hackathon include:

  • Harmonizing data exports from healthcare provider systems.
  • Developing tools and methods for federated data querying.
  • Enhancing semantic representation and ensuring compliance with FAIR data principles.

The event is open to professionals from various disciplines, including clinicians, data stewards, analysts, developers, and semantic web specialists, all of whom play a crucial role in advancing data harmonization and secure querying practices.

Although an official event date has not yet been set, the registration deadline for the hackathon is March 5, 2025. We invite all interested participants to seize this opportunity to contribute to the future of digital healthcare while gaining valuable insights. Check here the preliminary agenda!
