🚀 Joining forces for biomedical #RDM !
Last week @ghga@genomic.social @nfdi4immuno@nfdi.social @NFDI4Microbiota@nfdi.social @nfdi4health@nfdi.social and @nfdi4bioimage@nfdi.social from the 🇩🇪 National Research Data Infrastructure ( @NFDI@nfdi.social ) came together for a deep dive workshop. The focus? Tackling cross-consortia use cases in biomedical research data management—exploring innovative ways to share, integrate and utilize data effectively.
Stay tuned for updates. 🌟

Discussing how to integrate clinical and research data: Our speaker @bussec@scholar.social presents the key concepts of NFDI4Immuno's data management strategy at the annual #EuroClonalityNGS meeting in #Turin 🇮🇹

The 🇩🇪 @Bundesregierung@social.bund.de has published its "Strategy for International Digital Policy". Naturally, the document is broad and high-level, but p. 10 (3rd paragraph) is noteworthy as it mentions:

1. Aim to promote data infrastructure with open interfaces.
2. Approach of 🇪🇺 #DataSpaces ensures transparency, security, data protection and trust and promotes #FAIR principles.
3. Commitment to #OpenResearchData creates added value for society and economy.
