The European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM) encourages researchers, clinicians, data scientists, policymakers, patient representatives, and all stakeholders involved in cancer imaging and health data to join the newly established EHDS Stakeholder Community.
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) will shape how health data can be securely accessed, shared, and reused across Europe. As a flagship initiative building a federated infrastructure for cancer imaging data, EUCAIM is already addressing many of the challenges and opportunities that will be central to EHDS implementation, including interoperability, data governance, secure access mechanisms, and cross-border collaboration.
The EHDS Stakeholder Community provides a platform for stakeholders across Europe to contribute their expertise and practical experience to the implementation of EHDS. Through webinars, consultations, discussions, and knowledge-sharing activities, participants can help shape the future framework for health data reuse while learning from initiatives across the European health data ecosystem.
Why your participation matters
The future success of cancer imaging research and innovation in Europe will depend on how effectively imaging infrastructures are integrated into the broader EHDS framework. Strong participation from the imaging community can help ensure that the specific needs and experiences of imaging stakeholders are reflected in future policies, technical standards, and implementation strategies.
By joining the Stakeholder Community, you can:
- Contribute expertise from cancer imaging research and innovation
- Share lessons learned from federated data infrastructures such as EUCAIM
- Stay informed about EHDS policy, governance, and technical developments
- Connect with stakeholders from across the European health data landscape
- Support the long-term impact and sustainability of European imaging initiatives
- Help shape a trusted and effective framework for health data sharing and reuse
- Build on the experience of EUCAIM
A strong engagement from the imaging community will help ensure that EHDS supports innovation while enabling secure, trustworthy and effective use of health data for the benefit of patients, researchers and healthcare systems.
How to register
The EHDS Stakeholder Community is hosted on the EU Health Policy Platform and is open to organisations and individuals working with health data across Europe.
