European Health Data Protection Congress
October 14 to 16, 2026
Paris, France
About EHDPC
Health data has become a strategic asset for Europe, sitting at the crossroads of regulation, innovation and trust.
EHDPC 2026 brings together regulators, legal experts, researchers and industry leaders to examine how health data can be accessed, protected and used responsibly in healthcare and life sciences. As regulatory frameworks evolve and artificial intelligence increasingly shapes research and care pathways, organisations face growing pressure to translate legal requirements into operational, secure and compliant practices.
The congress was designed as a space for clear, structured dialogue, connecting policy, technology and real-world constraints. Its ambition is not only to address compliance challenges, but to support sustainable and responsible innovation, aligned with Europe’s vision for health data governance.
