Projects

ELIXIR-LU is currently involved in the following projects:

ELIXIR-STEERS

ELIXIR-STEERS supports life science researchers in accessing national datasets and performing large-scale, cross-border data analyses across Europe. The project promotes best practices in software management and provides targeted support to life scientists in this area. These practices will be consolidated into a comprehensive toolkit for developing green, reproducible software and workflows.

EOSC-ENTRUST

The mission of EOSC-ENTRUST is to create a European network of trusted research environments for sensitive data and to drive European interoperability by joint development of a common blueprint for federated data access and analysis.

European Genomic Data Infrastructure

The European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project is a €40 million EU-funded initiative launched in 2022 to establish a federated, secure, and sustainable infrastructure for accessing human genomic, phenotypic, and clinical data across Europe. It builds upon the groundwork laid by the Beyond 1 Million Genomes (B1MG) project and aims to realize the vision of the 1+Million Genomes (1+MG) initiative.

GDI focuses on integrating data from national databases, emphasizing areas such as the Genome of Europe, cancer, and infectious diseases. To ensure data privacy and compliance with European and national laws, the infrastructure provides controlled access to approved clinicians, researchers, and policymakers, while non-sensitive, aggregated data will be openly discoverable through tools like the European Genome Dashboard.

The project brings together 54 partners from 20 countries and two infrastructure organizations, encompassing expertise in life sciences, medicine, computer science, ethics, and law. By facilitating secure and efficient data sharing, GDI aims to advance research, enhance personalized healthcare, and inform health policy-making across Europe.
