Data Access to Controlled Data

How to apply

Controlled Data by The European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA)

Application documents should be completed and returned to the Data Access Committee of the University of Cologne (DAC-info[at]uni-koeln.de). Applications will only be accepted electronically. Any queries regarding access procedures or completion of the forms should be sent to this address.

Technical problems with the EGA download should be reported directly to the EGA Helpdesk.


For User Institutions located in the EU/EEA:

Application requires the completion of a Data Access Request Form for all requested data sets and a Data Access Agreement for each data set and must be signed by the legal entity with which you are affiliated (signed and stamped, no electronic signature). Additionally, our DAC needs a document providing proof that the applicant is working in a scientific organization (signed and stamped by an authority of the organization). Applications can include collaborators, but each Institution has to submit its own application.


For User Institutions located outside the EU/EEA:

User Institutions located outside the EU/ EEA (European Economic Area) are requested to fill in the Data Access Request Form for all requested data sets, the Data Access Agreement for each data set and additionally enter into the Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries. All forms must be signed by the legal entity with which you are affiliated (signed and stamped, no electronic signature). Additionally, our DAC needs a document providing proof that the applicant is working in a scientific organization (signed and stamped by an authority of the organization). Applications can include collaborators, but each Institution has to submit its own application.

For users outside the EU/EEA - additional to DTA and Data Request Form: Standard Contractual Clauses according to GDPR
