About the Symposium

The 5th Data Donation Symposium brings together leading researchers, practitioners, and innovators to explore the future of data donation and its impact on scientific research. Data donation represents a paradigm shift in how individuals can contribute to scientific research by voluntarily sharing their personal data. This allows researchers to address important questions while participants maintain control over their information.
