IDERHA members Philip Gribbon and Torsten Blum recently participated in a series of cancer data workshops organized by the European Committee. Summaries are available now through the EU Digital Strategy website. 

IDERHA’s first publication is now available on Open Research Europe and presents IDERHA's plan of alignment with the EHDS. IDERHA will actively participate in shaping EHDS as one of the first pan-European initiatives. 

August 1st is World Lung Cancer Day. IDERHA member Prof. Torsten Blum works as a pulmonologist and thoracic oncologist and shares his thoughts on the project with IDERHA researcher Rebecca Graebig-Rancourt. 

IDERHA was mentioned twice in the Austrian Computer Society Journal. The work of IDERHA was highlighted by our consortium members Rada Hussein and Stefan Sauermann. 

The Patient Advisory Board (PAB) is one of the three advisory boards within IDERHA and provides an invaluable patient perspective throughout the project’s lifecycle. Meet the members of the PAB now via our website. 

Today, we publish the first video interview of a series with the PAB members of IDERHA. Viorica Cursaru is one of these PAB members and was interviewed about the role of the PAB in IDERHA, and her ambitions for the project. 

Over a hundred people attended the first IDERHA Public Forum in mid April. In an inspiring setting at the Fraunhofer Forum in Berlin, IDERHA researchers, patient representatives, representatives from parallel projects, and other interested parties exchanged ideas, progress, and discussed a tiger in the wild.

IDERHA strongly values the patient perspective on the work within the project and is integrating this via the Patient Advisory Board (PAB), which now consists of eight participants. IDERHA is pleased to announce that EPF and LuCE are looking for additional members for the PAB. 

Our consortium members: Sascha, Simon, Kiko and Sian were the rightful winners of the first IDERHA Awards. “It is amazing work that everyone of you have done during the first year of IDERHA!”

The first Annual Consortium Meeting of IDERHA brought insights on progress and challenges, and a new cycling metaphor: “As a peloton we move faster and further than we do as individuals.” 

To ensure the patients voice strongly resonates in IDERHAs technological achievements and policy recommendations, IDERHA recently installed a Patient Advisory Board. 

IDERHA’s first public webinar on data access and sharing was a success.

On World Cancer Day, we are reminded once again why we are doing what we’re doing in IDERHA: to improve cancer patient’s lives. This year's theme is especially close to our hearts. 

IDERHA emphasizes the importance of involving stakeholders and the general public in the project and created a public consultation form to achieve this.

There was a great reunion and representation of IDERHA at the annual conference of our consortium partner iHD.
