On 3 November 2026, researchers, data specialists, research software engineers, service providers and institutional representatives will gather at Casino Bern for the ORD ETH Measure 2 Outreach Event. The event will showcase achievements, lessons learned and future opportunities from the resulting projects.
As part of the ETH Domain’s Open Research Data (ORD) Programme, Measure 2 has focused on improving and connecting research data management (RDM) and research software engineering (RSE) services and infrastructures across the ETH Domain.
As the ORD Programme comes to an end, the Measure 2 Outreach Event will provide a platform to exchange experiences, build connections and discuss how the results of this measure can be sustained and further developed.

Leonhard Med to support the LOOP Zurich in the 2nd call for proposals for Platform Projects.
The LOOP Zurich has launched its second call for Platform Projects in the context of the LOOP BioMedical Informatics Platform (BMIP), supporting new research initiatives that expand the use of biomedical data and analytical methods within the LOOP ecosystem.
Leonhard Med Trusted Research Environment (LeoMed TRE) at ETH Zurich provides the secure infrastructure underpinning BMIP.
Data from the BMIP platform can be delivered securely and directly to any Leonhard Med tenant for storing, processing, and analyzing.
The LeoMed team is happy to discuss with Principal Investigators considering a proposal how the project could make use of the LeoMed services. In particular:
Feel free to get in touch with the LeoMed team at leomed-support@id.ethz.ch during the proposal preparation phase.
