Work Package 9 focused on the assessment of the technical, social, and economic impact of the 3D’omics technology.

UCPH led the analysis and writing of a methodological article that compares 3D’omics technology to conventional multi-omics based on the knowledge generated in WP3 to WP7. The manuscript addresses the key technical differences between both methodological approaches, as well as the main differences with regard to the biologically interpretations each approach provides. It contains a perspective section in which the key technical developments to improve 3D’omics technology were discussed.

Further, UCPH (-Economics), in collaboration with AVI, NORSVIN and BIO, estimated the mid- and long-term economic and social impact of implementing the 3D’omics technology, including its effects on production efficiency and costs in animal production systems, and its potential external socio-economic effects from changes in human zoonotic risks, greenhouse gas emissions and environmental footprint. The economic research focused on 3D’omics’ potential to address some of the major current challenges for modern livestock production, including interventions to reduce the sector’s contribution to antimicrobial resistance or the sourcing of more sustainable feeds. 

Lastly, UCPH led the development of a 3D'omics blueprint that can be used for decision makers within policy, academia and industrial contexts for the implementation of 3D’omics technology in different sectors. 

Work Package 9 had a total duration of 21 months and concluded in December 2025.

The outcomes of this Work Package were 3 Open Access manuscripts, which were shared publicly (see publications).
