Programme:

At the MII Symposium 2024, the current results of the MII and prospects for further development will be presented to the (specialist) public under the motto ‘’Using data, strengthening research, improving health care - our path to the European Health Data Space‘’. Among other things, data usage projects that are already successfully using the MII's research data infrastructure and that have been applied for via the MII's German Portal for Medical Research Data (FDPG) will be presented. The focus will also be on the results of the Use Cases, the "Digital Hubs" and the MII's junior research groups. In a panel discussion, preliminary work and fields of action on Germany's path to the European Health Data Space will be discussed.

Sessions:

  • Successfully using the MII infrastructure: how the FDPG enables data usage projects
  • Further development of the MII infrastructure and outlook
  • Germany heading towards the EHDS
  • Digitalisation of medical research and health care: selected research projects

Background information on the MII: 

The aim of the MII is to digitally network routine data from patient care throughout Germany and make it available for medical research in order to treat diseases faster and more effectively in the future. All of Germany's university medical centres are working on this together with non-university hospitals, research institutions, companies, health insurance companies and patient representatives in the four consortia DIFUTURE, HiGHmed, MIRACUM and SMITH. Data protection and data security are top priorities.

A coordination office is responsible for the national coordination of developments within the MII, which is operated by the TMF (Technology, Methods and Infrastructure for Networked Medical Research) together with the MFT (German Association of Medical Faculties) and VUD (German Association of Academic Medical Centres) in Berlin.

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding the MII with a total of over 480 million euros up to and including 2026.
