While Open Research Data (ORD) is widely considered as a core principle contributing to common knowledge, it raises complex legal issues in the field of sensitive and non-sensitive data alike.

SIB has joined forces with the University of Lausanne and several Swiss institutions to launch a new project to foster training and a national curriculum for Data Stewards, and is in charge of the life science part.

Several ORD projects led by or involving SIB Members have been awarded funding by swissuniversties.

SIB takes part in the international project ENDOTARGET launched this month.

The vision to enable biological Open Research Data in Switzerland just onboarded new key partners.

What we do Cardio-CARE is involved in the pre-processing, quality control and data analysis of high throughput Omics data. Other core competencies include the planning, conduct, and analysis of clinical studies, such as randomized controlled...
