OHDSI Europe Community Calls
The OHDSI Europe Community Calls are held each second Thursday of the month at 13:00 CET. The calls bring together researchers, clinicians, and data holders from across Europe to connect, collaborate, and share knowledge.
These calls serve as a complement to the weekly OHDSI Global Community Calls on Tuesday's at 11:00 ET and provide a dedicated forum to discuss topics specifically relevant to Europe. Sessions include presentations on European collaborations and projects, updates from the National Nodes and the European community.
