eHealth Baselining Event 

The  Objectives and outcomes of the eHealth Baselining Event 

The event (Jan 27, 2021) has been attended by about 80 participants, NRENs representatives.  The  primary objective of the first GÉANT Community Baselining event has been  to understand if the community was ready to start an activity on eHealth. It has been the very first  community event ever organised around eHealth, and,  besides proposing initial ideas for joint activities, it gathered the community response to the new idea of working together on eHealth.  The main goal has been achieved since the event showed that there was enough critical mass to start coordinating NRENs' activities on eHealth to aim at generating synergies on specific topics.

Community involvement and  identified gaps

The event has been structures around 5 main domains:

1. Networking
2. T&I
3. Security
4. Policy
5. Clouds

The requests coming from the NRENs community showed considerable potential in working together on the following topics:

1. Training on Security and Privacy, specifically for eHealth. These should target both NRENs eHealth contacts and NRENs member institutions dealing with eHealth.
2. Sharing information to the NRENs eHealth Community on funding opportunities from the EU Commission on eHealth, with the goal of empowering NRENs through new opportunities to let their eHealth staff and activities grow in the forthcoming years.
3.  Sharing Best practices and assess the implications of eHealth on AUPs
