DHIN Newsletter | Issue 42, June 2022
Dear ,
Hello to all the new and existing members of the DHIN. We are now officially halfway through 2022 and have some exciting DHIN-related things coming up in the second half of the year.
The first Emerging Researchers in Health Informatics (ERHIC) Symposium will be held 12-13 July. It will be hosted at Macquarie University, supported by DHIN and include representation from across Australia’s leading digital health research groups. Even if you are not presenting at the event, do consider attending to see what the future leaders in the area are doing.
Later in the year the full set of FMH Networks will have an EMCR Symposium, so keep an eye out for opportunities to participate in that. We are also keen to host breakfast events to bring together people from academia and the health sector, so if you are working in the digital health world and would like to connect with researchers at the University of Sydney, please let me know as it will help us with planning.
As I do each newsletter, I would also encourage you to log in to the DHIN website and update your profile. This is the best way for people to find you, and for you to find them. A new and improved DHIN website will soon be on its way, and the updates you make now will improve how we help you find new collaborators, funding opportunities, and connect with all things digital health.
Best wishes,
Adam Associate Professor Adam Dunn
