The Beacon Template UI supports both Beacon Networks and standalone Beacon deployments, regardless of the underlying implementation π€ Its straightforward configuration reduces barriers to adoption and enables a user-friendly interaction with Beacon services
π‘ The Beacon Template UI provides Beacon owners with a ready-to-use, configurable frontend that can easily be connected to their Beacon API
𧬠It enables intuitive query building, filter selection and results exploration, thus making it easier for users to discover genomic and phenotypic data
π’ The Beacon Template UI version 1.0 is out!
The Beacon team at @crg.eu, in collaboration with @bsc-cns.bsky.social, has developed a customizable user interface for @ga4gh.org Beacon v2 implementations
π£ The ELIXIR coordinated #EOSC_ENTRUST project published its 2οΈβ£ policy brief β highlighting the #federation and governance approaches needed to create a trustworthy research infrastructure π¬ on top of the #interoperable network of #TREs.

We look forward to seeing many new Beacon deployments across Europe!
During the hands-on sessions, held in the context of a 3-day technical hackathon in Finland for experts of the EU 1+Million Genomes Initiative ( #1MGenomes ), the team shared practical expertise on Beacon deployment and integration into GDI Beacon Networks π€
The Beacon team at the EGA has had a busy and productive workshop supporting Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) Nodes in deploying their Beacon instances as part of their national infrastructures for federated genomic #DataDiscovery across Europe
