Data Federation HUB - AJSPH Meet-up: how population data can support evidence based and more effective health policies

Please mark your calendars and join us for the next Data Federation meetup together with Aletta Jacobs School of Public health on Thursday February 6th, 2020.

This time there will be an interactive programme about how population data can support evidence based and more effective health policies.We will zoom in on how data-science can help to compare neighborhoods and predict how lifestyle changes may lower healthcare costs.

After the keynote speeches, the Aletta experts will talk to you about a National initiative to establish a data-driven prevention ecosystem. What scientific and policy questions should it address? What societal insights should it deliver? How could you contribute? We focus on opportunities, ‘blue skies’, but also leave room for questions on data management and privacy.  
Come and discover what is new in this field of data in (public) health.
