Secure sharing of sensitive human research data from Sweden

Secure sharing of sensitive human research data from Sweden

FEGA Sweden helps Swedish research organisations store sensitive human research data in Sweden and share them securely with approved researchers. Public descriptions of the data can be found through the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA).

Access requests are reviewed and decided by the organisation responsible for the data, through its established access process.

Access overview

Enable submission from your organisation

Before researchers at your organisation can submit data for which the organisation is responsible to FEGA Sweden, we work together to agree who does what and set up the legal, practical, and GDPR-related details needed for secure submission and access requests.

This includes agreeing roles, ways of working, responsibilities, and relevant legal and GDPR arrangements before the first submission.

Organisations already onboarded include Uppsala University, Lund University, and the Swedish Childhood Tumor Biobank. We are also working with additional organisations to complete organisational onboarding.
