Roundtable Discussions

As the European Health Data Space moves toward implementation, a critical question is emerging: can the current approach be realistically delivered at scale, without placing an unsustainable burden on health data holders?

To explore this, AIDAVA is organising a series of structured roundtables bringing together senior stakeholders from across the European health data landscape. Three audiences will be convened separately: hospital managers, patient advocacy organisations, and EU and Member State decision-makers. Each roundtable will combine evidence-based analysis with open discussion to pressure-test current assumptions and develop concrete recommendations.

Findings will be synthesised into a peer-reviewed publication and, where relevant, translated into recommendations for European and national decision-makers.

Details on dates, locations, and participation will be published here as they are confirmed.

Patients Advocacy Group

This roundtable brings together patient associations and patient consultants to share their perspectives on the future of health data in Europe. Participants will discuss what high-quality, accessible health data means for patients in practice, and contribute to shaping forward-looking recommendations that place patient needs at the centre of European Health Data Space (EHDS) implementation.

Hospital Managers

As the European Health Data Space (EHDS) moves closer to implementation, hospitals across Europe are preparing for what this means in practice. This event gathers hospital managers and health data experts from different national contexts to explore practical implementation approaches, share experiences, and contribute to concrete recommendations for making EHDS work effectively at the hospital level.

Decision-Makers

This roundtable will bring together European and national decision-makers to explore how the European Health Data Space (EHDS) Regulation can deliver tangible value for health systems, research and innovation. The discussion will focus on the challenges of moving from compliance to value, and on the role of data quality, interoperability and emerging AI-enabled approaches in supporting affordable, sustainable and scalable implementation across Member States.
