HELIOS and HemaFAIR invite you to a webinar: A Gentle Introduction to Federated Learning.

This session will provide an accessible overview of federated learning, a key approach enabling collaborative data analysis while keeping sensitive data secure and locally controlled.

Federated learning is increasingly important in healthcare and biomedical research, as it allows institutions to work together without sharing raw data, supporting privacy-preserving and scalable collaboration.

This webinar will explore:
🔹 The fundamentals of federated learning
🔹 How federated approaches differ from traditional data sharing
🔹 Applications in healthcare and research
🔹 Opportunities and challenges for implementation

As part of the HELIOS & HemaFAIR webinar series, this event aims to:

• build foundational understanding of federated approaches
• support FAIR and privacy-preserving data infrastructures
• empower researchers to engage with new collaborative methods

🎯 Target audience: researchers, clinicians, data scientists, and anyone interested in FAIR data, digital health, and collaborative research approaches.
