Shared Data × Open Science × Cross-National Transportability – Vision or Fantasy in Real-World Evidence?

Vision or fantasy in real-world evidence? Three international speakers explored how open science, common data models, and research using Korean healthcare databases can help turn cross-national research from concept into practice.

RWE Open Science Data Harmonization

Building a Shared Research Language Across Countries and Databases

As real-world evidence (RWE) plays an increasingly important role in clinical and regulatory decision-making, the process of evidence generation is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Open science, research transparency, and common data models are no longer separate concepts; together, they form a critical foundation for strengthening the quality, credibility, and impact of research.

This lecture provided valuable insights into how existing data can be effectively used to generate and apply real-world evidence, and how open science can support the development of high-quality real-world research.

As real-world evidence (RWE) continues to play an increasingly important role in clinical and regulatory decision-making, the process of evidence generation is undergoing several important changes. Open science, transparency, and common data models are becoming increasingly interconnected, collectively strengthening the global impact of RWE.

W e sincerely thank Dr. Dani Prieto-Alhambra, Dr. Kenneth Man, and Dr. Ju-Young Shin for exploring three important dimensions of RWE from different perspectives: open science, common data models, and research using Korean healthcare databases. The discussion highlighted data harmonization and three key principles for achieving this goal: plan openly, harmonize deliberately, and report transparently.

Thank You to Our Three Distinguished Speakers
