Fantastic to see IPDLN Scholarship Recipient Dr Lachlan Dalli present on research from the #INSPIRESTROKE initiative in Rotterdam this week. Congratulations again to Dr Dalli and the other scholarship recipients on their insightful presentations. #IPDLN2026

Great to see Dr Kate Miller chairing a session on Trusted Research Environment (TRE) governance at #IPDLN2026 in Rotterdam, one of the standout themes of the conference this year.

Fantastic few days at #IPDLN2026 in Rotterdam so far. Nearly two decades on, this is still the place where researchers, data custodians, policymakers and infrastructure providers come together to push population data science forward.

Australia's linked data landscape has grown complex and researchers have said as much. At IPDLN Rotterdam, Mikhalina Dombrovskaya presented the Data Access Pathways tool, helping researchers navigate access options with more transparency. #IPDLN2026 #IPDLN

Australia built one of the world's most respected data linkage systems over 30 years. But heavy governance means slow data, and some studies stall before they begin. At IPDLN Rotterdam, Dr Kate Miller shared how Data Connect Australia is fixing this with tiered data access. #IPDLN2026 #IPDLN

Early career researchers from across the globe built the tools they need at IPDLN in Rotterdam. Dr Kate Miller co-facilitated a workshop stress-testing a new International Data Access Tools Repository. #IPDLN2026

Excited for #IPDLN2026 this week! Three of our team are presenting: Dr Kate Miller on tiered data access, Mikhalina Dombrovskaya on a new tool for navigating linked data, and Dr Felicity Flack on the CROSS-Link governance framework. Proud to contribute to the global data linkage conversation.

Join us to launch the Data Access Pathways Explorer, a free tool giving researchers tailored guidance on linked data access pathways in Australia. Live demo + Q&A. Date: Tuesday 4 August Time: 12:30pm AEST, 10:30am AWST. Register here: lnkd.in/giVAppKX
