Community goal
The goal of the ELIXIR Federated Human Data (FHD) Community is to promote and facilitate the creation of a federated ecosystem of interoperable services. This ecosystem enables population-scale genomic and biomolecular data to be accessed across international borders, accelerating research and improving human health.
To achieve this goal, the FHD Community provides coordination across ELIXIR Nodes, ELIXIR-funded projects and internationally funded initiatives that contribute to this shared vision.
Join our community to collaborate on cutting-edge human data research.
Community objectives
- Facilitate the creation of services for the secure submission, archival and analysis of sensitive human data across Europe
- Promote coordination among European institutes dedicated to or aiming at providing such services, especially within the Federated European Genome-phenome Archive (FEGA)
- Disseminate good practices for sensitive human data management
- Ensure alignment across the European landscape of projects and initiatives
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 FHD regular activities
Regular FHD meetings provide a forum to present, discuss and coordinate progress across multiple funding streams, ensuring progress towards the shared vision is tracked and documented.
FHD Community call: This takes place on the first Tuesday of each month at 14:00 CEST.
The standing agenda includes:
- Presentations from ELIXIR Nodes on progress towards the FHD vision
- Updates from FHD-related projects such as FEGA and the European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI)
- Invited presentations from related projects delivering infrastructure components across the Nodes
- Discussions of community topics of interest
