IRIS Institute

The IRIS Institute emerged from an international cooperation for the deployment, maintenance and development of the IRIS software, an electronic system for automated coding of causes of death. The increasing international interest in the IRIS software has made it necessary to provide an institutional foundation to secure the supply and support of the IRIS software. Consequently the cooperating partners from France, Italy, Hungary and Sweden approached the DIMDI with the request to establish the IRIS Institute.

Currently the following institutions have joined the cooperation:

• Centre d'épidémiologie sur les causes médicales de décès (Inserm-CépiDc), France
• German Institute of Medical Documentation and Information (DIMDI), Germany 
• Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH), Hungary
• Italian National Institute of Statistics (Istat), Italy

The IRIS Institute is an international cooperation of the above mentioned institutions which you can contact at:
