Support of Young Talent in the GMDS.

The German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS) aims to develop subject-specific methods, which are then to be applied in collaboration with various medical domains. Furthermore, the support of young scientists is an essential field of activity of the GMDS, since the need for junior staff has increased due to the acceleration in medical digitization. A specially established Presidential Commission strives to promote young talents and scientists in the above-mentioned disciplines. For this purpose, various strategies and concepts are elaborated in regular meetings and finally implemented. These include online formats such as a lecture series on research-related topics, as well as events such as summer schools and PhD symposia.
