on The European Health Data Space: Anticipating Ethical, Governance and
Socio-Political Challenges.
The project will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Luca Marelli at the
Research Unit in Ethics and Governance of Health

(Italy), the University of Oxford (UK), and KU Leuven (Belgium). The project

research, data governance, and research ethics methodologies, we will engage
with key stakeholders in the health and policy domain at the Italian and EU
level to probe opportunities and challenges posed by the establishment of the
EHDS, while conducting normative analyses to identify socially robust and
normatively sound solutions for the EHDS implementation.
