🚨 New publication co-authored by Lygature: "Sharing sensitive data in life sciences: An overview of centralised and federated approaches," published in Oxford Journals Briefings in #Bioinformatics The paper is the outcome of a workshop organised by Lygature under the EOSC-Life project. Commenting on the new publication, Lygature Program Manager and co-author, Jan-Willem Boiten said: "Central repositories for data sharing in European research face challenges, especially with sensitive health data. Federated approaches, where data remains at the source, are increasingly preferred. Our paper discusses the key considerations for choosing between central, federated, or hybrid data storage strategies for large-scale European collaborations." 📖 Read the paper here 👉 https://lnkd.in/d5NbeXfM ECRIN (European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network), BBMRI-ERIC, EATRIS, ERINHA, Istituto Mario Negri, Health Data Hub, European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI, EBRAINS, eCREAM, ISIDORe, Ilse Custers, Rick van Nuland
