Vision: Our vision for the ELIXIR Federated Human Data (FHD) Community is to create a federated ecosystem of interoperable services that enables population scale genomic and biomolecular data to be accessible across international borders, accelerating research, and improving the health of individuals resident across Europe. Together, the components of FHD provide a framework for the secure submission, archival, dissemination, and analysis of sensitive human data across Europe, and wider.
Achieving this vision: FHD provides coordination across a number of EU, ELIXIR Node, and internationally funded projects that drive towards delivery of the shared vision. The overall objective is to provide a suite of interoperable services to deliver the vision, focussing on the interfaces that are required for the federated infrastructure rather than any single technology.
Activities
ELIXIR Node deployments across the FHD infrastructure
Many ELIXIR Nodes provide local, regional, and/or national infrastructure components to support the implementation of the shared vision for ELIXIR FHD. Below we provide links to these ELIXIR Node specific FHD websites:
- ELIXIR Finland (link needed)
- ELIXIR Germany
- ELIXIR Norway

ELIXIR FHD regular activities
As the work towards achieving the vision of ELIXIR FHD is supported by many different funding streams the regular FHD meetings provide a forum for the presentation, discussion, and coordination across these, enabling the progress towards the vision to be tracked, documented, and discussed at regular intervals.
There are two FHD meetings held per month. Both meetings are open to ELIXIR members, and ELIXIR FHD Community partners:
ELIXIR FHD strategic meeting
First Tuesday of the month, 2pm CEST
