Topsector LSH funds FAIR-dICT project to tackle challenges in data driven science & innovation

Posted on

DTL-Data Projects was awarded funding from Topsector Life Sciences & Health to address scientific and technical hurdles on the path towards optimal use of scientific data for personalised health, disease prevention and care. Scientific data are typically scattered, hard to locate, with often unclear accessibility conditions. They are  frequently not interoperable and can thus not be utilised by researchers outside… Continue reading →

Vision on Open Science

Posted on

DTL supports Open Science: an umbrella term for a technology and data driven systemic change in how researchers work, collaborate, share ideas, disseminate and reuse results, by adopting the core values that knowledge should be reusable, modifiable and redistributable. One fundamental requirement for Open Science is that all research data  and the associated tools and services should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (i.e. FAIR).  However, securing the ‘technicalities’… Continue reading →

Vision 2025: large connected infrastructure for NL health research

Posted on

Together, BBMRI-NL, EATRIS-NL and DTL/ELIXIR-NL worked out a vision and roadmap to create an infrastructure for research into medicine and health in the coming decade. We propose to bundle a wide range of distributed resources (biobanks, facilities, data collections) in a common large-scale infrastructure: Health-RI. A linked (FAIR) data network will serve as a strong binding element and physical backbone… Continue reading →
