The second round table of the Genomics Observatory, one of the focus topics of the Life Sciences Community for 2021, will be an opportunity to present the analyses carried out so far (through desk analyses and confidential interviews with genomics experts), to share proposals for strengthening the national strategy on genomics, and to initiate an active debate among the main stakeholders and experts in the field, taking into account clinical application, research and industry. The results and the theses emerging from the meeting will be collected in a policy brief to be presented to policy makers at the end of the process.
