National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden - NBIS - EGI
EGI collaborates with NBIS, a distributed national research infrastructure for bioinformatics research in Sweden.
www.egi.euNBIS (National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden) remains a key Swedish research infrastructure for bioinformatics, training, and data analysis support, operating as the Swedish node in ELIXIR and the SciLifeLab bioinformatics platform. Recent activity includes platform updates and rebranding within SciLifeLab, with NBIS continuing to provide computing resources, data management, and training across six Swedish sites. For the latest developments, NBIS announcements and related pages from SciLifeLab and ELIXIR Sweden are the best primary sources.[2][3][7]
Key points to know right now:
- NBIS is the national hub for bioinformatics in Sweden and a core ELIXIR node, coordinating national support and international collaboration.[4][6]
- In 2026, two SciLifeLab platforms were renamed, with NBIS explicitly reaffirmed as the National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden, emphasizing expanded computing and storage services and cross-site collaboration.[7]
- NBIS operates across multiple sites (e.g., Uppsala, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Lund, Linköping, Umeå) and integrates with national compute clusters and NAISS for high-performance computing needs.[5]
If you’d like, I can pull the latest press releases or project pages from NBIS, SciLifeLab, and ELIXIR Sweden and summarize any concrete announcements (funding updates, new services, training programs). Would you like me to fetch those now?[2][5][7]
