On 18 and 19 November 2021, over 140 participants representing the HARMONY and HARMONY PLUS Partners, joined the HARMONY Alliance General Assembly 2021.

The HARMONY Alliance is a European public-private partnership uniting over 100 organizations in hematology, such as hospitals, research institutes, medical associations, patient organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and IT companies. Funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), these organizations have joined forces to improve the care for blood cancer patients. They have established the unique HARMONY Big Data Platform, which has already identified approx. 100,000 anonymized patient records. The HARMONBY Big Data Platform is used to develop tools to rapidly select the most promising treatment strategy for an individual patient. In addition, HARMONY develops core outcome sets for blood cancers and organizes multi-stakeholder activities.
