QUANTUM project kick off meeting
Over the next three years (2024 -2026), the QUANTUM project aims to develop and implement the health data quality label for the secondary use of health data in the EU.
On 20 and 21 February, the consortium for QUANTUM: “Developing a Data Quality and Utility Label” met in Brussels for the kick-off meeting to officially launch the Horizon Europe-funded project. All the partners discussed the various activities and highlighted the way forward for this ambitious and strategic project to unlock the full potential of new tools, technologies and digital solutions for a data-driven healthy society.
QUANTUM’s objective is to create a common label system for Europe that will allow its use in all countries for scientific and health innovation purposes. These labels will enable researchers to use data with a notion of the quality and utility that will ensure that their research and innovations are effective and provide value to society.
The project will be testing a labelling mechanism across health data holders (such as healthcare organisations, health institutions and bodies, and research entities of the healthcare sector), to create value not only for them but also for data users and Health Data Access Bodies (HDABs) within the European Health Data Space.
Bringing together 35 participants including the major European research infrastructures and the European digital industry, the QUANTUM consortium gathers various expertise essential for the project's success. With the Aragon Institute of Health Sciences (IACS) as coordinator, the project unites the following participating countries: Spain, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Croatia, Finland, Ireland, Greece, Norway, Germany, United Kingdom, Portugal and Slovenia.
