Information Retrieval Meeting

Mega databases and artificial intelligence are rapidly gaining importance. What does this mean for the future of information retrieval? IQWiG discussed this question at the Information Retrieval Meeting in Cologne on 26 April under the guiding theme: "The next level: mega databases, artificial intelligence and now?" The one-day meeting was the continuation of the format introduced in 2022 by IQWiG's Information Management Department.

More than 100 national and international experts, mainly from HTA agencies and academia, came to Cologne to discuss artificial intelligence (AI), mega databases, new technical tools, and the foreseeable consequences for information retrieval. In plenary sessions, workshops and personal networking, participants had the opportunity to learn about modern digital options and thus gain important new insights for their daily work.

In our “Information Retrieval Meeting (IRM 2022): Transition into the Digital Age“ we had several inspiring keynotes, oral sessions and workshops about the current developments and practical experiences with digitalization and automation in information retrieval. During these two days, participants from 17 countries shared their practical and scientific knowledge about their challenges and solutions in information retrieval for systematic reviews and HTA reports.
