Showcase & feedback session: HDR Gateway, Safe People Registry & Cohort Discovery

18 February 2026
11:00 am
12:00 pm

Join the February Human Data community call for a live, interactive showcase of three key technologies developed by HDR UK that support access, discovery and trust in the landscape of human data research:

  • HDR Gateway
  • Safe People Registry
  • Cohort Discovery

What to expect

This session will include short demonstrations of each technology, highlighting how they work in practice, recent developments and their future direction.

The focus, however, is not just on showcasing tools – it’s on learning from you.

Why attend

This is a highly participatory session designed to gather feedback from people who work with human data in real research settings. We’re keen to hear your perspectives on:

  • What works well and what doesn’t
  • How these tools fit into your workflows
  • Gaps, priorities, and opportunities for improvement
  • Ideas that could shape the next phase of open development

Your insights will directly inform how the technology evolves, helping ensure it continues to meet the needs of the broader human data research community.

Who should join

This session is particularly relevant for:

  • Researchers and data scientists working with human data
  • Data stewards, data access committees and governance professionals
  • Infrastructure developers and service providers
  • Anyone interested in trusted access and safe reuse of sensitive data

How to join

This event will be held virtually. Register to join the ELIXIR-UK Human Data & Tech Club to receive the meeting link and further details. If you don’t wish to attend the community calls in the future, you can unsubscribe at any time.
