Since the Digital Day 2018, 24 EU countries plus the United Kingdom and Norway signed the Member States’ Declaration ‘Towards access to at least 1 million sequenced genomes in the EU by 2022. This plan consists of stepping up efforts towards creating a European data infrastructure for genomic data and implementing common national rules enabling federated data access. The initiative forms part of the EU’s agenda for the Digital Transformation -of Health and Care and is aligned with the goals of the European Health Data Space (EHDS).

The updated [1+MG Roadmap](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/99974), published in Q3, 2023, sets out the priorities for the period 2023-2027. The [Beyond 1 Million Genomes (B1MG)](https://b1mg-project.eu/) project is helping to create a network of genetic and clinical data across Europe. The project provides coordination and support to the 1+ Million Genomes Initiative (1+MG). This initiative is a commitment of 24 EU countries, the UK and Norway to give cross-border access to one million sequenced genomes by 2022. But B1MG will go 'beyond' the 1+MG Initiative by creating long-term means of sharing data beyond 2022, and enabling access to beyond 1 million genomes.
