euCanSHare

euCanSHare is a joint EU-Canada project to establish a computational, infrastructural, legal and scientific framework for cross-border data sharing and multi-cohort cardiovascular research. Specifically, the project will integrate data infrastructures, IT solutions and data sources from Europe, Canada and other countries into a web-based data access system with functionalities for increased efficiency in cardiovascular data-driven research. euCanSHare integrates more than 35 Canadian and European cohorts making up over 1 million records and actively seeks to expand to other regions. euCanSHare key objectives are • Implement a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable) data platform for enhanced data sharing and multi-cohort research in cardiology • Integrate innovative computational tools for facilitating data discovery, access, deposition, harmonisation, image analysis and bioinformatics • Leverage the power of big data in personalised cardiovascular medicine, addressing biomarker quantification, knowledge discovery, risk assessment, public health and industrial research • Apply legal frameworks to enable compliant data sharing across countries and in line with Open Science tenets • Provide the euCanSHare platform with capabilities to extend over time and thus create the largest network of cohorts and researchers in cardiovascular personalised medicine for academic, industry and public health.
