WP1 provides the overarching administration, management, and coordination of the MIDAS consortium and project. It chairs and coordinates the MIDAS Policy Board. WP2 aims to deliver a solution addressing ethical and good practice challenges when working with large and varied datasets. WP2 will identify requirements, test systems to engage, inform, assure, and create a solution to maximise the benefit of data used for policy and the public. WP3 describes data sources prioritised by policy maker. Design and deploys the architecture and modules for integration of multi-site heterogeneous data sources. Data ingestion is developed to ensure data quality. WP4 will develop analytics platform for exploratory data analysis, health policy outcome simulation, and privacy-preserving machine learning models to support policy decision-makers in drafting and evaluating policy. WP4 also develops a framework for using systems approaches, thinking, and dynamics to supplement a data-driven approach to support political decision making. WP5 develops an interactive web-based tool to create decision support dashboards for understanding, finding explanations and making decisions from data. Three key tasks: design, implementation and user experience testing with user feedback gathered continuously inform each development iteration. WP6 leads an internal evaluation of the project, involving: identification of potential project impacts and the integration of the platform. This iterative evaluation process employs structured methods and processes. The interim evaluation results are fed back to partners to increase the likelihood of successful project outcomes. WP7 coordinates MIDAS dissemination, communication and exploitation activities, managing the MIDAS website and social media, organising and participating in events, and creating plans to ensure MIDAS results can be exploited by policymakers across Europe. WP7 focus on developing an integrated Exploitation Plan to allow the MIDAS Platform to evolve into a commercially sustainable solution in the longer term. WP8 ensures compliance with the ethics requirements of the project.
