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

ScreenME - Enhancing excellence in screen media entrepreneurship

The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
