On 1–2 June 2026, Prof. Christian Jung, Coordinator of the INDICATE project, participated in the 8th Critical Care Clinical Trialists (3CT) Workshop in Washington, DC.

During the meeting, Prof. Jung delivered a presentation titled “The European Experience – from Registries to Research Questions”, highlighting how European registries and collaborative data infrastructures can be transformed into meaningful research questions and innovative clinical studies in critical care medicine.

As part of his presentation, Prof. Jung shared insights from the INDICATE project, which is building a European federated data infrastructure to support research and innovation in intensive care. He discussed how high-quality clinical data, interoperability, and trustworthy artificial intelligence can help accelerate research, generate new evidence, and improve outcomes for critically ill patients across Europe. The presentation also highlighted INDICATE’s work in enabling cross-border collaboration through federated data access, allowing researchers to answer important clinical questions while ensuring that patient data remain secure and locally governed.

The annual 3CT Workshop brings together leading international experts in critical care, cardiovascular medicine, pulmonology, emergency medicine, clinical trial design, industry, and regulatory agencies to discuss advances in clinical research and the future of critical care trials.
