As the month of October draws to a close, so does the fruitful Visiting Fellowship of Patricia Cervera de la Cruz. During her time with us, Patricia contributed significantly to our research community and shared her expertise on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and fairness in secondary health data use.

European Privacy Law Scholars Conference

Patricia presented her collaborative research at the European Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC-E), discussing an upcoming book chapter on fairness in the EHDS. This event, organized by the team at the Institute for Information Law (IViR), offered a platform for scholarly dialogue.

Visit section of Community Genetics at the Department of Clinical Genetics at Amsterdam UMC

Together with Mahsa Shabani and James Hazel, Patricia had the opportunity to visit the section of Community Genetics at the Department of Clinical Genetics at Amsterdam UMC, following an invitation from Dr Carla van El. This visit aimed to foster collaboration between the two universities and provided an opportunity to gain valuable insights into the team's research and discuss potential synergies and future collaborative efforts.  

Research lunch at Law Centre for Health and Life

Additionally, Patricia shared her preliminary study findings at our monthly Research Lunch. Her qualitative study explores the perspectives of health data experts on the EHDS’s implementation. Engaging with our colleagues, Patricia received insights and feedback. 

Guest lecture at course ‘Global Health and International Law’

To conclude her visit, Patricia taught a session on the bachelor-level course ‘Global Health and International Law.’ She introduced students to her research framework, grounded in Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and illustrated the importance of fairness in the secondary use of health data. The session included practical case studies, allowing students to explore challenges surrounding health data fairness in real-world contexts.
