UPCOMING SESSIONS
Patient Sciences: The power of patient stories by Hester van de Bovenkamp
3 November 2026, 16:00-17:00 CEST
The aim of the field is to understand how knowledge derived from the experiences of patients and their loved ones can improve care and support. At the heart of this field are stories. Learning from experiences first requires collecting these stories, with attention to diversity, and analyzing them so that they can become a collective source of knowledge. The next step is to examine how patients’ stories are translated into participation and representation, and how the knowledge contained in these stories helps shape decision-making. In this way, we can learn how patients’ stories can genuinely contribute to different and better forms of care.

A FAIR and Open Medical Imaging Annotation Platform by Hakim Achterberg
10 December 2026, 16:00-17:00 CEST
Data is the foundation of medical research, and in medical imaging it drives the development of new diagnostic tools and AI models that support clinical decision-making. The Erasmus MC Imaging Office helps researchers gather, process, and analyse imaging data through services and software aimed at creating FAIR, high-quality datasets. In this seminar, we will outline the challenges in this field and present our new open-source curation and annotation platform, funded by an Open Science Grant from Open Science NL. By combining annotation tools, standardized templates, and automated data management workflows, the platform aims to reduce human error and workload while integrating with the Health-RI infrastructure for data reuse.
