Descriptions of datasets deposited in FEGA Sweden now available on Researchdata.se
FEGA Sweden has now started publishing metadata (descriptions) of deposited datasets on the national research data portal Researchdata.se. This means that information about datasets stored in FEGA Sweden is now findable and accessible through this central entry point for research data in Sweden.
The aim of this initiative is to increase the visibility of data published through FEGA Sweden and to contribute to a more integrated national research data ecosystem. By publishing metadata on Researchdata.se, we make it easier for researchers, infrastructure providers, and other stakeholders to discover and potentially reuse data hosted in our repository.
We see this as an important step in strengthening Sweden’s data infrastructure for life sciences and in supporting the FAIR principles — Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
For more information about the datasets available through FEGA Sweden, please visit our datasets page or search directly at Researchdata.se.
In addition to being searchable via Researchdata.se, datasets deposited in FEGA Sweden will of course continue to be findable through the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) website. This ensures that the metadata remains accessible both through the national Swedish portal and the broader European infrastructure for secure data sharing in life sciences.
About Researchdata.se
On 25 March 2025, the Swedish National Data Service (SND) launched Researchdata.se, a national web portal designed to make it easier for researchers across disciplines to find, share, and reuse research data. The platform provides access to thousands of datasets and supports sustainable data management throughout the research lifecycle. Developed in collaboration with universities and national research infrastructures (such as SciLifeLab, SITES, NBIS, and SBDI), the portal strengthens interdisciplinary cooperation and aligns with Sweden’s and the EU’s ambitions for open access to publicly funded research data by 2026.
