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


Interested participants can follow the event page for registration updates and programme details. Registration is expected to open soon.

Testimonial

UrbanAIR - Digital Twin for Urban Climate Action

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01-03) and running from 2025 to 2028, UrbanAIR develops advanced digital twins that simulate the interactions between urban climate, human behaviour, and policy choices. These models enable cities to explore what-if scenarios, such as new green infrastructure, mobility measures or building designs, and assess their impacts on health, safety and social equity. The project consortium consists of 18 partners from 11 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner Vito in this testimonial.
