What is GDI?

The Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project:

  • is enabling access to genomic and related phenotypic and clinical data across Europe
  • by establishing a federated, sustainable and secure infrastructure to access the data
  • is building on the outputs of the Beyond 1 Million Genomes (B1MG) project
  • is realising the ambition of the 1+Million Genomes (1+MG) initiative
  • is bringing together experts in life science, medicine, computer science, ethics, and law

Why GDI?

GDI project aims to:

  • enable access to genomic and related phenotypic and clinical data to improve research, policymaking and healthcare across Europe
  • unlock a data network of over one million genome sequences for research and clinical reference
  • create new opportunities for transnational and multi-stakeholder actions in personalised medicine for cancer, common, rare and infectious diseases as well as access to a reference genome collection representing the European population (Genome of Europe)
