Our partners across Europe

Who we are?

The Genome of Europe project brings together 49 partners from 27 European countries. The project unites the expertise from a number of research institutes and universities, healthcare organizations, governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, private sector companies and ELSI specialists to establish a unique pan-European reference database comprising of 100,000 genomes representative of European citizens.

The Genome of Europe project includes 49 partners from 27 European countries, comprising a diverse mix of research institutes, universities, healthcare organizations, government agencies, non-profits, and private sector companies. The consortium is built by expert with front-runner roles in 1+ Million Genomes initiative (mainly in working group WG10) and previous EU project leading up to Genome of Europe (B1MG, GDI).

The consortium comprises of national representative institutions that will collect genomic data (WP5) and expert centers supporting the central work: coordination (WP1) experts in sequencing procedures (WP2), ELSI experts (WP3), data infrastructure (WP4), genetic analyses and uses (WP6) and scientific communication and public engagement experts (WP7).
