The Beyond One Million Genome plus (B1MGplus) project kicks off

The Beyond One Million Genome plus (B1MGplus) project, funded under the Digital Europe Programme, provides coordination and support to the 1+ Million Genomes (1+MG) Initiative, one of the world’s biggest initiatives to enable secure access to genomic and corresponding clinical data across Europe.

B1MGplus builds on the outcomes of the B1MG project (ended in 2023) and, working together with the Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project and Genome of Europe (GoE) project, it will help achieve the goals of the 1+MG initiative.

The project aims to create a federated genomic infrastructure that, by providing access to genomic data, enables innovative research, better health policy making, and the development of personalised healthcare.

To support the 1+MG initiative, the B1MGplus project will focus on delivering implementation tracks on the 1+MG Roadmap 2023-2027 with four objectives:

  1. Support preparatory work for the creation and operation of a European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC)
  2. Facilitate the strategic orientation of the 1+MG Initiative
  3. Support expert work to enable the uptake of genomics for healthcare and public health purposes
  4. Develop data quality aspects of the 1+MG Framework

The B1MGplus project partners will collaborate with other European initiatives, such as the European Health Data Space and the European Cancer Imaging Initiative to ensure the 1+MG Framework components are interoperable and adopted.
