Making sense of today’s translational research data requires a team approach. 

The datasets that are generated today are complex, and involve many different types of data. The consequence is that the integration of multiple types expertise is necessary. 

In this meeting Data Scientists and translational researchers will work together to build a common understanding of today’s research data challenges. The aim is to find ways to help fulfil the promise of better health through the optimal use of data.

This meeting is being organised by IMI funded project eTRIKS, which over the course of 4 years has helped 41 translational research projects to get more value out of their data. It has become apparent over the course of those 4 years that the awareness about data infrastructure that is available for Translational Research is lacking. 

Thus, the 2 main themes of the meeting are: understanding the landscape of Bioinformatics infrastructure and how to reduce fragmentation, and giving Translational Researchers the knowledge and the tools they need to collaborate on making sense of Translational Research data faster.

The location is the Hesperia Tower Hotel in Barcelona.Take advantage this year of the inaugural meeting, which includes no charge to delegates.
