EvolveBBMRI
The EvolveBBMRI project aims to further develop BBMRI-ERIC for the benefit of its scientific communities and users, increase its capacity to serve EU policy priorities and further deepen its collaboration with industry. To accelerating datafication for support of EU health priorities, greening of biobanks and integrated approach to “one health”.
Since its creation, the Biobanking and BioMolecular resources Research Infrastructure – European Research Infrastructure Consortium (BBMRI-ERIC) has made a remarkable contribution to European and international cutting-edge research, as one of the largest RI for health research and in life sciences in Europe. 2023 marking its 10-year anniversary, BBMRI-ERIC is facing a unique moment to look into the long-term future and to develop its strategy for the next decade to ensure long-term sustainability.
The project is structured in four thematic pillars:
1) Acceleration of datafication of biobanks and biomolecular resources to enable reproducible advanced medical research in support of EU health priorities ;
2) Teaming with industry towards greener biobanking;
3) Long-term sustainability measures for BBMRI addressing also RI landscape gaps; and
4) Strengthened approach for career paths, training and outreach activities to maximise impact.
The project will ensure the implementation of specific results on 6 key target groups: a) Scientific community (Universities, Hospitals, Research Institutes); b) BBMRI-ERIC National Nodes, Biobanks in Europe and beyond; c) Industry and private foundations; d) Policy- and decision-makers at national and European levels; e) European and International networks and f) Donors, Patients and Citizens.
EvolveBBMRI activities and outputs within its four Pillars will increase the long-term sustainability of BBMRI-ERIC and will contribute to a better structured and strengthened European research infrastructure landscape.
In this 3-year EU-funded project, from Jan 2024 onwards, 11 institutes in 10 countries across Europe collaborate. The project is coordinated by BBMRI-ERIC.
Health-RI is participating in this project as host of the national node of BBMRI (BBMRI-NL). Colleagues from the teams Data, Biobank & Collections and International will contribute to the acceleration of datafication of biobanks and biomolecular resources to enable reproducible advanced research. This touches upon the onboarding of biobank in the national and European infrastructure, listing the capabilities and services that available at the biobanks, and exploring data integration and performances of secure cloud environment in selected real-world biobanking applications.
