The European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) is a deployment project, co-funded by the Digital Europe programme. GDI's main objective is to realise the data infrastructure required by the 1+MG initiative to share high-quality genotypic and phenotypic data across borders; the 1+MG Virtual Cohort. Countries participating have committed to reach a concrete operational level before the end of the project (progressing across different phases: onboarding, deployment or operational) which will

... e them to fulfil technical and non-technical requirements. In addition, the establishment of required technical capacity in each node has been identified as a critical factor for the success of the project and the long-term sustainability of the data infrastructure and the initiative. This document presents the initial process and assets to monitor the deployment of the European Genomic Data Infrastructure that will be initially focussed on: ● the deployment of the technical expertise required to deploy and operate the European Genomic Data infrastructure to share access to data across borders, building the technical capacity to run the infrastructure beyond the end of the project, and, ● the evolution of the European Genomic Data Infrastructure Nodes. GDI Nodes will transition across different phases in their journey to be fully operational and integrated into the European Genomic Data Infrastructure. These monitoring processes and tools are aiming to support GDI Nodes in their journey by assessing their progress on a quarterly basis and providing them with useful guidance and recommendations to reach their individual objectives, as well as the project objectives summarised in the commitment to have 6 nodes technically operational by 2024. This will be extended to 15 nodes by 2026 with three additional nodes reaching deployment and two more nodes reaching onboarding. A summary of the information collected every quarter will be pres [...]
