Check out this recently published JMIR paper by Clair Blacketer (PhD student in HDS group) offering a comprehensive overview of the data sources within the European Health Data & Evidence Network (EHDEN), focusing on the 210 health data sources from 30 countries mapped to the OMOP Common Data Model. It highlights the diversity and scale of real-world data across Europe, illustrating the potential of federated data networks to enhance the generation of reliable evidence. By emphasizing the breadth of data within the network, this work underscores how these resources can be leveraged to support future health research and improve the generalizability of evidence.

The 6th European OHDSI Symposium – Join the Network: Advancing Real-World Evidence in Europe – took place on July 5-7, 2025, in Hasselt, Belgium, bringing together researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore the latest developments in OMOP-CDM, open-source tools, and collaborative projects that harness the power of networks to generate impactful evidence. Pre-symposium workshops and tutorials were held on July 5 and 6.

This marked the first time that this event ventured beyond its traditional home in Rotterdam. The symposium was held at the iconic Old Prison building of Hasselt University, providing a unique blend of historic ambiance and cutting-edge innovation.
