Exposures in the period from conception to early childhood - including fetal growth, cell division, and organ functioning - may have long-lasting impact on health and disease susceptibility. To investigate these issues the Danish National Birth Cohort (Better health in generations) was established. A large cohort of pregnant women with long-term follow-up of the offspring was the obvious choice because many of the exposures of interest cannot be reconstructed with suffcient validity back in time. The study needed to be large, and the aim was to recruit 100,000 women early in pregnancy, and to continue follow-up for decades. Exposure information was collected by computer-assisted telephone interviews with the women twice during pregnancy and when their children were six and 18 months old. Participants were also asked to fill in a self-administered food frequency questionnaire in mid-pregnancy. Furthermore, a biological bank has been set up with blood taken from the mother twice during pregnancy and blood from theumbilical cord taken shortly after birth.

Open Data DK has established a governance model to ensure that the members perceive the association as open, equal and result-creating. Open Data DK is a union with a board and teams. The Board is the general and strategic forum and consists of a chairman and five board members. The General Assembly is the Association's decision-making body and highest authority. The individual teams coordinate efforts within specific focus areas. Governance model with teams must support the need to coordinate the work as well as possible while taking into account the autonomy that the individual teams have in terms of the democratic basic element on which the association is based. The gain of using this form of organization is a joint work across the members of the association.
