HEMAFAIR

Fostering F.A.I.R data and standards in RHDs

  • HemaFAIR is established by international collaborations that are experts in their field to raise the scientific profile and competitiveness of CING in order to improve the position of researchers in Cyprus in the fields of biomedical informatics and rare hematological diseases (RHDs), with a focus on the use of FAIR data and standards in research and education.
  • HemaFAIR will involve a comprehensive training programme and capacity-building and networking activities such as summer schools, workshops, webinar and transferable skill lectures taught by experts in RHD, biomedical informatics, ethics and regulatory issues.
  • In addition, HemaFAIR will raise the profile of early-career researchers via the development of a mentoring programme, short term staff exchanges and collaborative research projects between EU partners and the CING.
  • HemaFAIR will demonstrate the FAIRification process on two existing platforms for haemoglobinopathies, a group of RHDs that are particularly prevalent in Cyprus with a pilot study, thus maximising the impact of the project on the local society.
