A Gentle Introduction to Federated Learning

Federated analysis is transforming the way researchers collaborate with sensitive health data. In this HELIOS and HemaFAIR webinar, Francesco Cremonesi will introduce the key concepts behind federated analysis and its growing role in enabling collaborative research without the need to centrally share sensitive datasets.

This session will provide an overview of how federated approaches allow researchers to analyse distributed data while maintaining privacy, security, and regulatory compliance.

This webinar will explore:

• The principles and foundations of federated analysis

• How federated infrastructures enable secure collaborative research

• Practical applications in biomedical and rare disease research

• Opportunities and challenges when implementing federated approaches

This webinar aims to help researchers understand how federated analysis can facilitate large-scale collaboration, support data protection requirements, and unlock the potential of distributed health data.

Target audience: researchers, clinicians, data scientists, registry managers, and stakeholders involved in biomedical research, rare disease data infrastructures, and privacy-aware data analysis.
