Unpacking the European Health Data Space Regulation: solution or complication?

But behind its ambitious vision lies a complex web of legal, ethical and societal questions. Repeatedly debated during the legislative process, finally translated into a Regulation.

This mini symposium invites you to explore:
- The metadata catalogue: key to a borderless European Health Union, or a bureaucratic maze?
- How to deal with GDPR’s lawfulness principle: how can consent, public interest or legitimate interest carry the load?
- The implications of a sector-specific approach to data subjects’ rights: is the EHDSR going above and beyond or was data subject empowerment sacrificed in the final sprint?
Join us for a thought-provoking afternoon of critical reflections, bold questions, and dynamic debate.
- Debate-triggering messages from VIB, pharma, UZ Gent and the Belgian Data Protection Authority
- Combined with insider views from the Health Data Authority, UGent and Sciensano
- And an opportunity to further discuss with panel members from 4 different disciplines
