European Commission

The Netherlands signs declaration to link up access to genomic databases across the EU, joining 17 other member states already involved in the initiative.

Researchers look at the European EMR market share and UK efforts to make sense of the proliferation of apps in healthcare, while the European Commission starts its annual campaign to draw awareness to growing cybersecurity threats. 

Seventeen EU member states have now signed a declaration to link access to national genomic databanks and biobanks in a bid to make the EU a "beacon for global health research".
