ELIXIR is the European infrastructure for biological information with currently 22 countries and more to join the coming years. Sweden is one of the founding members, and NBIS constitutes the Swedish node. In many of the international collaborations, we participate as an ELIXIR node. Sweden is very active, e.g. with Human Protein Atlas (HPA), now an ELIXIR Core Data Resource, reflecting its fundamental importance to the life-science community and long-term data preservation.

We participate in several EU funded projects. For example, to support the European 1+ Million Genomes Initiative, we co-lead the infrastructure efforts through the connected projects B1MG (Beyond 1 Million Genomes) 2020–2023, where we lead the technical recommendations for the infrastructure, and in GDI (European Genomic Data Infrastructure) 2023–2027, where we lead the development of the infrastructure based on the findings.
