The main objectives of the training activities on data management & quality are to decrease rare disease data fragmentation and increase data quality by raising the level of capacities and help data sharing in a FAIR ecosystem.
The training activities proposed are focused on:
- Orphanet nomenclature and rare disease ontologies for RD research*
- Standards and quality of genetics/genomics data in laboratory and clinical research practice*
- Strategies to foster solutions of undiagnosed rare disease cases*
- Sample data management in biobanks*
- Rare disease registries and FAIRification of data at the source
- Components and interoperability tools of the European Rare Disease Registry Infrastructure (ERDRI)
The trainings are delivered on-site ranging from short 1 or 2-day workshops to 3- or 5- days residential training. All training courses are open to all and offered free of charge to interested participants (selection criteria apply). In addition, 10 to 15% of selected participants will be offered travel and accommodation fellowships enabling a more equitable level of participation among EU-13 countries. Several courses* are held in different countries each year to ensure wide participation across Europe.
