Journal Club

09:30 AM (5 minutes tolerance): Meeting starts

09:35 AM - Presentation of the EOSC-ENTRUST project by Peter Maccallum (ELIXIR)

10:05 AM - Overview of STRIDES by Nick Weber (NIH/CIT)

The total session will last 1 hour with questions. The main idea is to discuss how Europe is defining and developing Trusted Research Environments and how they are being made available for large pan-European initiatives for the management and analysis of sensitive data (genomic), comparing it with the vision of large initiatives like STRIDES in the US and how researchers are using this infrastructure to deal with sensitive data.

We would also like to inform the community here, the ELIXIR and the BRIDGE staff-exchange team tomorrow.
