The overall goal of this project is to provide secure, standardised, documented and interoperable services under the framework of the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA). The three-year plan included a structured roadmap for ELIXIR Nodes to join the EGA federated network by providing the necessary technical, logistical, and training coordination across the network. ELIXIR Norway contributes to WP3 Coordination of interface implementation and WP4 Coordination of operational nodes as part of the federated services through Eivind Hovig, Finn Drabløs, and Kjell Petersen
