Welcome to the GDI Data Portal

Welcome to the GDI Data Portal user guide!

The GDI Data Portal gives you access to Europe's largest network of genomic datasets for your research and analysis needs. As part of the 1+ Million Genomes Initiative, this portal enables federated and secure cross-border access to high-quality genomic data and related phenotypic information across European countries.

This guide is for data users—healthcare researchers, policy-makers, and professionals—who want to discover and request access to genomic datasets for research and clinical purposes.

Learn more about Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) and its founding initiatives.

Access genomic datasets in three steps​

  1. Explore datasets: Browse and search through detailed dataset information—search by any criteria such as keywords, research topics, disease areas, or allele frequency.

  2. Request access: Found a dataset you want to use? Submit an application to access it. You may need to provide documentation or requirements for your request, and you can invite collaborators to assist you with your application.

  3. Access approved datasets: Once your request is approved, you will receive an email with a link to the Secure Processing Environment (SPE) where you can securely download and work with the datasets.
