Harmonisation and standardisation of education in Europe (with recognition of professional qualifications) under the umbrella of the Bologna Process is opening a door for students' and teachers' mobility and professional exchange.
The aim was to document practice and convergence between research groups, highlighting areas for discussion and providing a basis for recommendations for harmonisation and standardisation.
The EC Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed and validated methods for the detection and quantification of individual GMO events (EC JRC [2010], [2014a]) and run international collaborative programmes, predominantly with governmental laboratories, to increase harmonisation and standardisation of methodologies for analysing GMOs (EC JRC [2014b]).
The guidelines described here are aimed at improving the quality of HRF molecular diagnostics and promoting harmonisation and standardisation of laboratory test reports.
The main objective of this PT is to ensure harmonisation and standardisation in whole genome sequencing and data analysis, with the aim to produce comparable data for the GMI initiative.
Therefore, one of the goals of the GMI initiative is to establish a formal mechanism for inter-laboratory test performance to ensure harmonisation and standardisation in WGS and data analysis.
With the aim to ensure harmonisation and standardisation in WGS and data analysis, WG4 developed a survey using the online survey software (https://www.surveymonkey.com/) for the collection of relevant information from scientists based in institutes and organisations from different parts of the world (supporting information).
From a technical perspective, managing increasing data volumes, the varying needs of scalable computing resources, harmonisation and interoperability processes, tools and services, visualisation and compliance to standards are the major drivers in developing an integrated system.
For a thorough description of the terminology extraction process and standardisation process, see [ 5].
It clearly articulates with the progressive movement towards alignment of development assistance and harmonisation of processes, though the initial JANS pilot will include only four to five countries.
The International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) states in its Q8 'Pharmaceutical Development' guideline that the manufacturer of pharmaceuticals should have an enhanced knowledge of the product performance over a range of material attributes, manufacturing process options and process parameters.
