PHIRI, the Population Health Information Research Infrastructure, is implementing a research infrastructure to facilitate and generate the best available evidence for research on health and well-being of populations as impacted by COVID-19. Since its start in November 2020, the PHIRI’s partners have been working relentless to deliver the outcomes that were promised to the European research community and policy makers. For this reason, we would like to present to you the main achievements and developments of the project since its start, ranging from the launch of the Health Information Portal, a one stop shop to access health & healthcare data in Europe, to the Rapid Exchange Forum, answering urgent research and policy questions on COVID-19, and much more.
