Sharing knowledge across borders is essential for progress in pediatric oncology. To make this possible, we need an optimal data infrastructure.

Just imagine: what if researchers at the Prinses Máxima Centrum voor kinderoncologie could easily discover which datasets are available at Hopp Children’s Cancer Center Heidelberg (KiTZ) (Heidelberg), using DISQOVER technology?
