The Norwegian university museums have started a process to maintain but re-evaluate the collaboration structures. This process includes an evaluation of informatics solutions including digitisations solutions, collection management software, and GBIF data streams.

BioMedData is a national research data infrastructure to promote FAIR data management with the life sciences. The project was established in 2020 as a collaboration between 11 Norwegian life-science infrastructures. BioMedData is funded by the Research Council of Norway and will run until 2024. BioMedData concerns an upgrade of the Norwegian ELIXIR node following the ELIXIR Europe position on open and FAIR research data management.
