International Collaborations

NBIS is very actively engaged in Nordic, European and other international efforts to shape the bioinformatics landscape to best meet current and future challenges.

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 lead the development of the infrastructure and the national deployments in GDI (European Genomic Data Infrastructure) 2023–2027.
