Meet NUM-ENRICH: A Collaborative National Effort to Extend and Harmonize Research Infrastructures Within the German Network University Medicine
Year: 2026
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: During the Corona Pandemic, the German Network University Medicine has established robust research data infrastructures for data and biospecimen-driven research. However, due to the fast set-up, realizing the full potential has been hindered by challenges, such as siloed and unharmonized data, varying data access procedures, and infrastructure-specific governance frameworks. These issues impede cross-infrastructure data sharing and interoperability and easy access. A collaborative, national effort involving all German University clinics and stakeholders in the health landscape will therefore work towards the harmonization of infrastructures, data pools, data handling procedures and governance frameworks. The ENRICH consortium is committed to maximise the value of NUM data and biosamples for the research community as a whole.
