European collaborations
Health-RI aims to provide the infrastructure to make health and life science data in the Netherlands reusable for research and innovation.
Health-RI and its users operate in an international research and health and life science data community where infrastructure solutions must work seamlessly across borders. These solutions are increasingly being developed in large European or even global collaborations.
Partnerships with European Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) organisations
European Research Infrastructures, established as part of the European Strategic Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap, are organisations that deliver integrated scientific solutions for Europe and strengthen their international outreach. Each ESFRI organisation is focused on a specific infrastructure, and synergies and collaboration exist between ESFRI organisations. EU countries can join one or multiple ESFRIs.
Health-RI aims to be the linking pin across ESFRI organisations in the domain of health and life sciences and support a smooth collaboration with relevant research communities in the Netherlands and beyond. We focus on connecting European initiatives related to data, biomaterials, and images, specifically when these concern human health and life sciences.
In line with our areas of expertise, Health-RI hosts Dutch National Coordinating Nodes for the following ESFRI organisations: BBMRI, EATRIS, and ELIXIR.
As activities evolve, we foresee that more ESFRI organisations from other areas of expertise will partner up with Health-RI to stimulate cross-theme, cross-border collaboration on a larger scale.
