We, the DIFUTURE consortium (Data Integration for Future Medicine) and the MIRACUM consortium (Medical Informatics in Research and Care in University Medicine) invite interested employees to the next MIRACUM-DIFUTURE Summer School. This will be organised as a face-to-face event.

The MIRACUM-DIFUTURE Summer School will take place from 17 to 21 June 2024 at Schney Castle near Lichtenfels. The content is tailored to FHIR and the MII core dataset module development with a focus on rare diseases. The need for this is very great with the establishment of the federated registry NARSE and the implementation of the Lab4Rare studies. 

Framework topic of the Summer School: “FHIR, core data set module rare diseases (SE) and federated SE documentation”

The Summer School will again have a strong workshop character, i.e. in addition to familiarising participants with the principles and tooling of core dataset modelling, they will work predominantly in groups on the concrete development of the core dataset module. The school is aimed at both technical and clinical staff, who work together in groups to develop the requirements, specifications and technical implementation of the profiles. In addition to the technical training, social events are also planned, with sufficient time for intensive socialising and team building, which will have a lasting effect on collaboration later on.

The Autumn, Spring, Summer and Winter Schools organised by MIRACUM and DIFUTURE are part of the concept to strengthen medical informatics and take place regularly to provide an introduction to interesting topics in biomedical informatics and medical data science as well as a general exchange for junior staff and interested parties.
