Partner Advisory Committee May, 2022

Posted on

The primary role of DTL as public-private partnership is to establish a collective national platform for Digital Life Sciences. In this role, DTL connects experts in research and infrastructure initiatives in the field struggling with similar challenges related to data management and shared use to help overcome these challenges in the many fields of life sciences and health and related societal sectors. The assembly of DTL partners illustrated the great overlap in challenges and ideas towards realising digital infrastructures and ‘data spaces’, linking health to nutrition to food production to biotech to biodiversity. And beyond!

As a community-platform, DTL will continue to help realise the infrastructure and capacity to implement FAIR data stewardship, bioinformatics, computational (systems) biology and AI and create a national Digital Competence Centre for Life Sciences and Health to support Dutch life sciences research and innovation in an international setting. The DTL partners bring Open Science to life, and show that its concepts are also highly valuable when data cannot just be openly shared due to reasons of privacy or private value!
