Summer School 2024
17 - 21 June 2024
Lichtenfels
Information
The MIRACUM consortium (Medical Informatics in Research and Care in University Medicine) and the DIFUTURE consortium (Data Integration for Future Medicine) invite interested staff to the next MIRACUM-DIFUTURE Summer School. This will be organised as a face-to-face event.
The MIRACUM-DIFUTURE Summer School will take place from 17 to 21 June 2024 at Schney Castle near Lichtenfels. The content is tailored to FHIR and the MII core dataset module development with a focus on rare diseases. With the establishment of the federated NARSE registry and the realisation of the Lab4Rare studies, there is a great need for this.
Framework topic of the Summer School: “FHIR, core dataset module rare diseases (SE) and federated SE documentation”
The Summer School will again have a strong workshop character, i.e. in addition to familiarising participants with the principles and tooling of core dataset modelling, they will mainly work in groups on the concrete development of the core dataset module. The school is aimed at both technical and clinical staff, who work together in groups to develop the requirements, specifications and technical implementation of the profiles.In addition to the technical training, social events are also planned, with sufficient time for intensive socialising and team building, which will have a lasting effect on collaboration later on.
The Autumn, Spring, Summer and Winter Schools organised by MIRACUM and DIFUTURE are part of the concept to strengthen medical informatics and take place regularly to provide an introduction to interesting topics in biomedical informatics and medical data science as well as a general exchange for junior staff and interested parties.

Schney is also easy to reach by train. Lichtenfels is a regional railway junction and is easy to reach by regional express train. The nearest ICE stop is Coburg on the main Munich-Berlin-Hamburg axis. From Lichtenfels main station, you can easily reach the castle by taxi.
Schney railway station is only one stop away from Lichtenfels station by regional train. It takes about 8 minutes to walk from Schney station to our castle.
If you walk from the station through the idyllic castle park, you will find our buildings above the Protestant church.
By car
Schney is located in the heart of Germany and is connected to the A73 motorway from Nuremberg to Suhl via Lichtenfels.
Technical equipment
WLAN and a projector are available. All participants should bring their own laptops for group work.
Accomodation
