The concept of “Big Data” has currently no consensual definition but refers to the vast amount of data created by exponential computing activities and challenges opened by data storage and uses. The impacts of this fast-growing technology are currently not well perceived but Big data opens new perspectives both on technical (communication, storage, analysis) and societal (uses and users’ acceptance) points of view.

This project aims to discuss the rise of Big data technologies and their uses from French and Nordic viewpoints, putting into perspective the specificity of Nordic countries characterized by the highest Human Development indexes.

This project is based on a series of events shared out in Nordic countries as followed:

-          Denmark: Big Data and Food

-          Finland: Big Data and Smart Cities

-          Norway: Big Data and Energy

-          Sweden: Big Data and Health

He also coordinated the Nordic BBMRI (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Island, Faroe Island and Estonia). Litton is renowned for his expertise in biobanking and leadership in large-scale projects. He is also heading the development of e-epidemiology by using Internet, cell-phones, digital paper and digital TV for collecting epidemiology data. Litton is involved in many large EU project in medicine, including the: BiobankCloud – Scalable, Secure Storage of Biobank Data. He was one of the driving forces in the FP5 project GenomEUtwin, where an infrastructure was built to link information between the 600 000 twins in seven European Countries and Australia between 2002–2007. He was the co-director for the Swedish LifeGene initiative, a prospective cohort based biobank with the aim of 500,000 participants until 2010. Since 2012, Prof. Litton is part of the e-science initiative in Sweden with a yearly budget from the Swedish government.

Lena Jönsson

Lena Jönsson, Legal advisor at County council of Dalarna. I mainly practice medical law, specializing in eHealth. I participate in national projects in the e-Health area at Inera AB, a Swedish company owned by Swedish county councils and regions, providing e-Health solutions.

During 2008 -2011 I acted as legal advisor, representing SALAR, in the Legal and Regulatory issues work package in the epSOS project, aimed to design, build and evaluate a service infrastructure that demonstrates cross-border interoperability between electronic health record systems in Europe. During that period I also produced a paper published in World Association for medical law (april-june 2011,” On the Road Toward Ratifying the Convention – The Spotlight is on Biobanks and Stremlined Consent”. On behalf of the Universities-colleges of Dalarna, Skövde and Örebro I have provides series of lectures in the legal area, for example lectures for young scientist in in how to access public information.
