Datahub

Whether you are looking for data, guidance on how to deal with data, or inspiration for combining data, welcome to the datahub website! We link you to a selection of open access materials developed at ITM and elsewhere which you can use for research and training. Thematically, we focus on how human populations are affected by and respond to health challenges.

Positioning

The Hub will unlock expertise and data from within ITM, combine data stemming from various contexts and disciplines, and foster collaborations within Flanders and beyond, with a focus on how (vulnerable) populations are affected by and cope with disease and health challenges. ITM, as a relatively small, but highly multidisciplinary, institute, with direct collaborations with many (vulnerable) populations is ideally positioned for this.

Interested to collaborate?

We look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to contact us at tverdonck@itg.be.
