This event organised by the Commission looks at progress under the 1+ Million Genomes Initiative and the next steps for Europe’s genomic data infrastructure. It is designed to bring together policymakers, researchers, health stakeholders, industry and patient representatives to discuss how genomic data can support research, healthcare and health policy. The programme also looks at sustainability, future governance and links with AI and high-performance computing.

The event focuses on the 1+ Million Genomes Initiative (co-funded under Digital Europe), which supports the secure and effective use of genomic and related health data in Europe. It aims to take stock of progress, discuss lessons learned, and help shape the strategic agenda beyond 2027. Topics include the value of European collaboration on genomic data, the role of health data infrastructures and enabling technologies, the achievements of the initiative so far, and options for long-term sustainability.

Target audience:

  • Academia and research organisations active in genomics
  • Representatives of European health professional federations and patient associations
  • Industry and SMEs innovating in domains using genomics
  • EU Member States’ ministries responsible for health, research and innovation, and/or digital policies

Testimonial

Limecraft - Powerful workflows for video products

If you’ve never heard of Limecraft, you’re clearly not working in the media sector. Their SaaS platform provides integrated workflows for media management, scripted and unscripted TV, and subtitling and localisation. It is used by leading broadcasting companies – such as BBC, VRT, NPO… – and production firms of which De Mensen or Hotel Hungaria might ring a bell (at least if you are Belgian).

NCP Flanders went to Ghent to interview Maarten Verwaest, CEO and cofounder, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Limecraft is a partner in the MeMAD project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
