Safeguarding innovation in secondary use of health data in the European Health Data Space (EHDS)

Funds one project to build frameworks, guidance and recommendations that protect IP, trade secrets and regulatory data when health data is reused under the EHDS.

This is a two-stage Research and Innovation Action, and consortia must meet the IHI's own additional eligibility criteria, including a roughly 45 percent industry contribution alongside the EU funding. This particular topic is explicitly exempted from the IHI's usual conditions on Availability, Accessibility and Affordability. Compulsory paperwork includes a 'Type of Participants' annex at stage o…

This topic wants frameworks, governance recommendations and practical tools that let health data holders and health data users reuse EU health data for research and innovation through the European Health Data Space, while keeping intellectual property, trade secrets and regulatory data protection intact. It targets the people setting up EHDS infrastructure, national data-access bodies, and both the holders and users of protected data.
