OHDSI Europe Community Calls

Welcome to the OHDSI Europe community call, a new meeting that will be held the second Thursday of each month at 1 pm CET. These calls will provide updates around OHDSI Europe, as well as research presentations, community updates, brainstorm sessions, networking opportunities, and plenty more. Newcomers and veterans alike are all invited to this get-together for the OHDSI Europe community.

During the July 2026 Community Call, we completed our OH!-Factor series with the winning pitch from the OHDSI Europe Symposium: ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—•๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฉ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ: ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ข๐— ๐—ข๐—ฃ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ, presented by Renske Los.
