General Information

OHDSI’s mission is to improve health, by empowering a community to collaboratively generate the evidence that promotes better health decisions and better care. As a community we envision a world in which observational research produces a comprehensive understanding of health and disease. OHDSI promotes a collaborative approach to research and has rapidly grown into a vibrant international community. Everyone is welcome to actively participate in OHDSI, whether as a patient, a health professional, a researcher, or someone who simply believes in our cause.

The fifth European OHDSI Symposium "Scaling up reliable evidence across Europe" will be held in Rotterdam (NL) on June 3rd, 2024, again at an inspiring location, the Steam Ship Rotterdam.

The symposium is a platform to share results and ideas about the use of the OMOP-CDM, tool development, and future research. The day will include a collaborator showcase including posters and podium presentations to highlight OHDSI’s research achievements, and interactive demonstrations of OHDSI’s open-source software tools.

During the symposium, we will update you on the exciting work being done all over Europe, in National Nodes, large European Projects, and other initiatives. Like last year, we will also reserve a lot of time for networking.

We encourage people who are new to OHDSI and are interested to learn more about this exciting initiative to join our Journey. There is a slot reserved for newcomers to meet the experts in one-to-one sessions. 

The main symposium will take place on Monday, June 3rd, 2024 on the ship SS Rotterdam. Saturday, June 1st, and Sunday, June 2nd will be dedicated to workshops and workgroup meetings, to be held in the Education Centre of the Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
