The final registration date for the workshop is Feb 28 2019. We invite  researchers and scientists who are interested in or working on research topics related to  human health and bio data  and data driven  diagnostics, treatments, products, and services that may change human health and life. This primary  objective of this inaugural workshop is to bring together scholars with diverse expertise and disciplinary backgrounds to establish an interdisciplinary community that could initiate novel conversations on data innovation, entrepreneurship, and infrastructure topics around human health futures.

To this end, the workshop facilitates highly collaborative small group and large group conversations topics.

To cover the expenses for facilities, lunch and dinner on March 7 and March 8, 2019, we ask participants for a fee of 250 EUR (150 EUR for Ph.D. students).
Key learnings from the workshop will be documented, aggregated, and published in a joint workshop report. The joint report will be circulated among all attendees for comments before publication.

Covered topics  include but are not limited to:
Digital innovation, infrastructure and entrepreneurship for sharing bio & health data (i.e., platforms and infrastructures)

  *   Emerging organizational forms and business models including “data collectives” and “data trusts” and new roles (for instance, “data brokers”, “curators”, “guardians”).

•       Incentive mechanisms and organizational capabilities required to leverage data sharing.

•       Providing data in a domain of a rapidly changing knowledge base

•       Governance related to the distribution of control, consent, and the assignments of rights across actors.

•       Legal and political ramifications of conceptualising data as infrastructural resources, digital objects, and valuable objects.

•       Theoretical and methodological challenges of studying data as infrastructural resources, digital objects and valuable objects.
Digital innovation and entrepreneurship on bio & health data (i.e., new ventures, products, and services)

•       Practices of utilizing private and open data in a highly regulated market

•       Business model innovation along data pipelines in digital ecosystems

•       (De-)Contextualization of data by digital ventures

•       The interplay among multiple layers of data within digital ecosystems (e.g. end users that actively contribute their data, data aggregators and intermediaries, data analytics service providers).

•       Navigating conflicting logics across digital and entrepreneurial ecosystems

•       The evolution of open, closed, and hybrid data repositories within and across organizations.

•       How far does available bio data disrupt health systems – from disease prevention, health promotion, to longevity.

•       Data sharing and competition dynamics between firms in digital markets (including the role of policies and regulation, such as for instance, GDPR).
