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.
