**Bonn, 04 July 2025** - The ABCD-J consortium convened its 2025 Annual Meeting with [DLR Projektträger](https://projekttraeger.dlr.de/en)
|
||
and [ABCD-J project site]({{< relref path="../../sites" lang="en" >}}) representatives to reflect on milestones and plan future directions
|
||
for the platform.
|
||
|
||
ABCD-J continues to expand as a scientific and networking platform, designed to promote collaboration internally while also supporting
|
||
external scientific outreach. The platform plays a critical role in enabling cross-site data sharing, shared infrastructure, and
|
||
translational applications of mobile health tools. Notably, it actively supports and integrates with interdisciplinary research initiatives
|
||
such as [TRR 379](https://www.trr379.de/), which investigates the mechanisms of aggressive behavior in psychiatric disorders; the
|
||
[Motor SFB 1451](https://www.crc1451.uni-koeln.de/), focused on motor function and its neural basis across clinical populations; and
|
||
[case-e]({{< relref path="../2024-case-e/index.md" >}}), a project that seeks to develop software-as-a-service for actionable study and
|
||
data management.
|
||
|
||
Other key milestones highlighted at the meeting included:
|
||
* Planning for several upcoming collaborative studies using ABCD-J infrastructure, including a multicentre study study using
|
||
[JTrack]({{< relref path="../../software/jtrack" lang="en" >}}) for smartphone-based cross-diagnostic assessment of daily life symptoms in
|
||
psychiatric and neurological disorders.
|
||
* Progress in the development of browser-based annotation tools and metadata schema to simplify submissions to the
|
||
[ABCD-J Data Catalog]({{< relref path="../../data" lang="en" >}}).
|
||
* Ongoing integration with the [Distribits 2025 Conference](https://www.distribits.live/) and expansion of ABCD-J resources such as
|
||
public newsfeeds, educational outreach, and technical documentation.
|
||
|
||
The group also celebrated several recent publications emerging from ABCD-J collaborations, including:
|
||

Looking ahead, [DLR Projektträger](https://projekttraeger.dlr.de/en) plans to visit one of the [ABCD-J project sites]({{< relref path="../../sites" lang="en" >}})
|
||
to gather on-site impressions of the research taking place within the ABCD-J framework. The next annual meeting will be scheduled in 2026, with hopes of further
|
||
broadening the collaborative impact of the project.
