The fourth European OHDSI Symposium will be held in Rotterdam (NL) on July 3^rd, 2023, again at an inspiring location, the Steam Ship Rotterdam. This year's symposium is entitled “Full Steam Ahead”.

The symposium is a platform to share results and ideas about the use of the OMOP-CDM, tool development, and future research. The day will include a collaborator showcase including posters and podium presentations to highlight OHDSI’s research achievements, and interactive demonstrations of OHDSI’s open-source software tools.

During the symposium, we will update you on the exciting work being done all over Europe, in National Nodes, large European Projects, and other initiatives. Like last year, we will also reserve a lot of time for networking.

We encourage people who are new to OHDSI and are interested to learn more about this exciting initiative to join our Journey. There is a slot reserved for newcomers to meet the experts in one-to-one sessions. 

The main symposium will take place on Monday, July 3^rd, 2023 on the ship SS Rotterdam. Saturday, July 1^st, and Sunday, July 2^nd will be dedicated to workshops and workgroup meetings, to be held in the Education Centre of the Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
