Initiative overview
Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) Ireland is the Irish arm of the European GDI project which aims to create federated genetic data infrastructures across Europe to allow for safe and secure sharing of genomic data.
A federated genetic data infrastructure will allow countries taking part in the project to collaboratively share data while storing the data in their own country. This ensures data privacy and protection. Access to analyse the data will only be granted to individuals after a review process.
Ireland has committed to the onboarding stage of the overall European GDI project, which means that over the next 4 years we will develop a proof-of-concept infrastructure that will be tested using artificial genetic data first. This is to ensure that the infrastructure works correctly and is safe and secure.
