Big Data in Health, Demographic Change and Wellbeing – our 2nd Workshop
December 9, 2016 @ 11:00 - 15:00
FreeOur aim for this workshop is to highlight progress from the BigDataEurope project in building the foundations of a generically applicable big data platform which can be applied across all Horizon2020 societal challenges. This workshop will focus on health and showcase our first pilot applied to early bioscience research data.
Health is a complex domain with a large number of academic, private and global entities operating in this space. In this second workshop, our aim is to gather ideas and input on how can expand the use of the generic BigDataEurope data platform in healthcare, identify other stakeholders and activities who could benefit from engagement in the development of future pilots.
Our aim is to get the perspective of our colleagues from the EC relating to how we may use the appropriate H2020 instruments and work programmes to better integrate the ecosystem of linked data repositories, data management services and virtual collaboration environments to increase the pace of knowledge sharing in health. Key to this is to forge stronger connections, show evidence of the benefit of sharing, pre-competitive innovation, and better alignment of the public and private sector.
