These data sets require Trusted Research Environ ments (TREs) that offer data access and analysis with robust data manageme nt\, governance and technology. However\, the current landscape of TREs fo r sensitive or restricted data is very fragmented and lacks a common refer ence architecture for connectivity and interoperability.\n\n To overcome t his fragmentation and promote collaboration among different stakeholders\, we need a framework for large-scale partnerships on sensitive and restric ted data through a network of TREs. ELIXIR is hosting a Bioinformatics Ind ustry Forum on this topic with the aim of fostering a collaborative approa ch to address these challenges.\n\n Objectives\n\n \n Learn from best pra ctices and experiences of established players\n Understand the relevant e cosystem\n Discover existing gaps and potential research business opportu nities\n Gain insights into research and technological breakthroughs\n E ncourage discussions among solution providers and foster potential collabo rations\n \n\n\nTarget audience\n\n\n Professionals from:\n\n \n Large\, medium and small enterprises\n Funding bodies\n Academia\n Nonprofit an d public organisations\n Patients’ and clinicians’ associations\n \n\ n With research interests in:\n\n \n Health and life sciences\n Data man agement\n Innovative services in the above areas\n \n\n\nProgramme Commit tee\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n "Looking forward to a day of sharing what works\, how to build partnerships and what not to do."\n - Joanne Hack ett\, Vice President Genomic &\; Precision Medicine\, IQVIA\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n "To continue to impact on health and so ciety\, bioinformatics needs to be applied to combined molecular and clini cal datasets.
