The SYNTHIA Goals & Gains Sessions are a series of internal virtual interactive meetings designed to bring consortium partners together around key cross-cutting topics in synthetic data for healthcare. These sessions create space for alignment, knowledge exchange, and collaborative discussion across the project’s technical, regulatory, and governance activities.
Session 1: Data Strategy & Provider Perspectives
27 April 2026 | 14:00–15:30 CET
Organized by IIS La Fe, this session focuses on SYNTHIA’s evolving data strategy and collaboration between data providers across the consortium.
The agenda includes discussions on data strategy development, data provider flash talks, and an open Q&A session, giving partners the opportunity to exchange experiences and align on shared challenges and opportunities related to healthcare data within SYNTHIA.
Session 2: External Control Arms & Synthetic Data
21 April 2026 | 14:00–15:30 CEST
This session explores the use of synthetic data in External Control Arms (ECAs), bringing together perspectives on development, validation, and regulatory requirements.
The introductory sessions were prepared by UPM (WP6/WP7) and NICE (WP9), focusing on key open questions around the design, validation, and justification of synthetic data use in control arms.
Through breakout discussions, partners will further explore challenges related to bias adjustment, replacement and augmentation strategies using synthetic data, as well as broader regulatory and HTA considerations.
Session 3: Data Harmonization, Standardization & Governance
19 May 2026 | 14:00–15:30 CET
The final Goals & Gains session focuses on data harmonization, standardization, and governance within SYNTHIA.
The session is organized by UNIVIE, CERTH and Erasmus MC.
Topics include Data Harmonization & Standardization in SYNTHIA, the implementation of OMOP-CDM within the project, and the development of a Data Governance Framework to support secure, interoperable, and trustworthy synthetic data generation and use across healthcare applications.
These sessions continue to strengthen collaboration across the SYNTHIA consortium and support the project’s mission to advance trustworthy synthetic data frameworks for healthcare research and innovation in Europe.
