The kick-off online meeting of Task T6.1 was organized by the Foundation for the Promotion of Health and Biomedical Research (FISABIO), Valencia, Spain, with the participation of 27 attendees involved in the CancerWatch JA, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, and other data quality experts.

The objective of the meeting was to provide an overview of Task 6.1 and its subtasks, and to plan the next steps toward preparing Milestone 23 by February 2026. A literature review was proposed as the initial activity, followed by the definition of data quality dimensions and the selection and specification of indicators to be included in each dimension, considering the EHDS requirements.
