The Beyond 1 Million Genomes plus (B1MGplus) project is helping create a European cross-border network of genomic and corresponding clinical data to improve healthcare outcomes.

The project provides coordination and support to the 1+ Million Genomes initiative (1+MG), which is the commitment of 25 EU countries plus Norway to enable secure access to genomic and corresponding clinical data across Europe, supporting research, health policy and personalised healthcare.

Key project activities

Establishing legal and policy frameworks: Ensuring genomic data sharing is secure and operational

Building long-term sustainability: Creating risk management strategies and strong stakeholder collaboration

Advancing genomics in healthcare:

• Raising awareness among healthcare professionals
• Assessing the maturity of genomics adoption in healthcare systems
• Creating a Citizen Hub to improve public understanding of genomics
• Demonstrating the economic benefits of genomic medicine in healthcare

Developing data standards: Creating robust ontologies, metadata guidelines and sequencing practices for the 1+MG infrastructure
