What we do
LIFES facilitates an ecosystem where FAIR data generation, privacy preserving data stewardship and equitable data reuse are the norm. We support the development of an Internet of FAIR data & services where data is visited and analysed at the source where possible. We assist our members to connect, implement and innovate to achieve this.
