The 47th Annual Conference of the International Society for Clinical Biostatistics (ISCB), together with the 71st Annual Conference of the German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS) is hosted from September 27 to October 1, 2026 in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

The rise of AI techniques and the increased public awareness of the value of data present great opportunities to data science disciplines. In particular, medical data sciences and application fields such as novel treatment paradigms in medicine promise great impact of methodological developments, including transitions in research paradigms. This can optimally be achieved jointly with other disciplines, in particular mathematics, computer science, and also close collaboration with biomedical researchers.

The ISCB GMDS 2026 Conference, together with the CRC Small Data Symposium, will provide a scientific platform for exchange on these exciting novel developments and discussing how these disciplines master the corresponding transitions.

eCAN Plus partners from WP9 will make an oral presentation about the Joint Action in this event.
