Friday, March 3rd, was a special day: our department celebrated the inauguration of the Head of the Department of Medical Informatics, Professor Peter Rijnbeek!

In his inaugural lecture titled "Scalable Evidence", he advocated "for improving interoperability, standardardised analytics, and creating a research memory. It requires a big collaborative effort to change the paradigm for the use of Real World Data at scale. We are moving in the right direction, but there is still a lot of work to do to unlock the value of data to improve patient care."

Congratulations Prof. dr. ir. Peter R. Rijnbeek on your inaugural lecture!
