Genomic Standards Consortium 2026

Local Contexts team members will present at the 26th International Meeting of the Genomics Standards Consortium in Rotorua, Aotearoa New Zealand.

This GSC meeting will bring together researchers, data stewards, and standards developers to examine how genomic repositories can support responsible, interoperable, and culturally grounded uses of AI. 

On August 12 NZT, Executive Director Hop Hopkins and Strategic Advisor Maui Hudson (Whakatōhea) will present as part of Day 1: Genomic Standards in Indigenous contexts.

Day 1 focuses on genomics in Indigenous contexts, including case studies, and a panel on developing data standards that maintain Indigenous metadata to support governance and data sovereignty.
