Upcoming Masterclass: Unlocking the Potential of Data Sharing in Collaborative Projects
The Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) has released a new Data Sharing Playbook – an important new resource aimed at improving data-sharing practices within multi-stakeholder projects such as those under the IMI/IHI framework. Developed with contributions from Lygature, the Playbook addresses the complexities of data sharing that often hinder collaborative progress.
Commenting on the new resource, Jan-Willem Boiten, Senior Program Manager at Lygature and co-author of the Playbook emphasized the need for improved data-sharing practices: “We observed that data sharing in large collaborative projects is far more complex than anticipated, often taking years before meaningful exchange occurs. With this Playbook, we aim to streamline the process, ensuring that the focus remains on solving pressing health challenges rather than navigating data sharing hurdles.”
The new Playbook should be a game-changer, facilitating collective learning and preventing the repetition of past mistakes, ultimately accelerating scientific advancements in health.
To further explore these insights, don’t miss the IHI Masterclass taking place on 4 September. The online event, in which our colleague Jan-Willem will participate as part of the authoring team, will delve into the Playbook’s strategies for unlocking the potential of data sharing in collaborative health projects.
