versoes novas - is21-04

IS MIRRI21

IS_MIRRI21 is a Horizon 2020 funded project that aims to implement the pan‑European Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure (MIRRI) as a fully functional entity and secure its long-term sustainability. MIRRI is soon to be established as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC).

EOSC-Life

EOSC-Life brings together the 13 Life Science ‘ESFRI’ research infrastructures (LS RIs) to create an open, digital and collaborative space for biological and medical research.

canSERV – Providing cutting edge cancer research services across Europe

canSERV's mission is to make cutting-edge and customised research services available to the cancer research community EU-wide, enable innovative R&D projects and foster precision medicine for patients' benefit across Europe. By connecting, coordinating, and aligning existing oncology and complimentary research infrastructures (RIs) and providing services in a synergistic way transnationally, canSERV will capitalise on the critical mass of experts and cutting-edge services offered by canSERV's RIs and their extended network.

BY-COVID – Beyond COVID

The project aims to provide comprehensive open data on SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases across scientific, medical, public health and policy domains. It will strongly emphasise mobilising raw viral sequences, helping to identify and monitor the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants. The project will further accelerate access to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 and linking patient and research data.

ISIDORe – Integrated Services for Infectious Disease Outbreak Research

The ISIDORe consortium, made of the capacities of European ESFRI infrastructures and coordinated networks, proposes to assemble the largest and most diverse research and service providing instrument to study infectious diseases in Europe, from structural biology to clinical trials. Giving scientists access to the whole extent of state-of-the-art facilities, cutting edge services, advanced equipment, and expertise, in an integrated way and with a common goal, will enable or accelerate the generation of new knowledge and intervention tools to ultimately help control SARS-CoV2 in particular, and epidemic prone pathogens in general, while avoiding fragmentation and duplication among European initiatives.

AgroServ-project-1-2

AgroServ – Integrated SERVices supporting a sustainable AGROecological transition

The objective of the project is to provide access to innovative, customized and integrated research services to the European research communities to advance knowledge on agroecosystems, increase our understanding on the risks and threats due to global changes and foster the development of new agroecological practices, taking into account the socio-economics benefits for society, and the sustainability of rural communities.

BIOINDUSTRY 4.0 - RI services to promote deep digitalisation of industrial Biotechnology - towards smart biomanufacturing

The project BIOINDUSTRY 4.0 aims encouraging the adoption of advanced digital technologies in industrial biotechnology. These include innovative measurement devices for online monitoring, data management tools for data quality, open science, and Artificial Intelligence learning to support bioprocess design.

MICROBE - MICRObiome Biobanking (RI) Enabler

The project MICROBE aims at developing innovative, validated technological approaches and other solutions that would enable to preserve and provide access to microbiome samples and associated data that would, in the long-term, support the development of novel microbiome-based applications.

Microbes4Climate

Microbial services addressing climate change risks for biodiversity and for agricultural and forestry ecosystems: enabling curiosity-driven research and advancing frontier knowledge The project aims to deepen the comprehension of the complex relationships among microorganisms, plants, and soil within the framework of climate change. By offering access to advanced Research Infrastructures, training, and assistance, the project seeks to encourage research tackling the multifaceted challenges presented by climate change to terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystems. By exploring these interactions, MICROBES-4-CLIMATE strives to advance understanding and facilitate applied research directed at enhancing the resilience of plants and crops to the effects of climate change, thereby fostering sustainable and resilient agricultural methods.

RItrain

RItrain, the Research Infrastructure Training Programme, is an EU-funded Horizon 2020 project aimed at improving and professionalizing the training of managerial and leadership staff in research infrastructures (RIs).

EMBRIC

The European Marine Biological Research Infrastructure Cluster (EMBRIC) is designed to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and innovation from marine Bio-Resources. EMBRIC aims to promote new applications derived from marine organisms in fields such as drug discovery, novel foods and food ingredients, aquaculture selective breeding, bioremediation, cosmetics and bioenergy.

PrePhase Mirri

PrePhase MIRRI has established the basis for a pan-European distributed research infrastructure that provides facilitated access to high quality microorganisms for research, development and application and connects public microbial domain Biological Resource Centers (mBRCs) with researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders to deliver biological material and services more effectively and efficiently to meet the needs of innovation in biotechnology.

Corbel

CORBEL is an initiative of thirteen new biological and medical research infrastructures (BMS RIs), which together will create a platform for harmonised user access to biological and medical technologies, biological samples and data services required by cutting-edge biomedical research.

RI-VIS

RI-VIS is a Horizon 2020 funded project designed to increase the visibility of European research infrastructures (RIs) to new communities in Europe and beyond.

ECCO

ECCO, the European Culture Collections’ Organisation was established in 1981. The aim of the organisation is to promote collaboration and exchange of ideas and information about all aspects of culture collection activity. ECCO meetings are held annually and are a valuable forum for discussion and innovation on the future development of member collection activities.

ISO/TC 276 Biotechnology

ISO/TC 276 Biotechnology will work closely with related committees in order to identify standardization needs and gaps, and collaborate with other organisations to avoid duplications and overlapping standardization activities.

FAO

FAO is the Secretariat of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (support to The State of World on Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture).

OECD

OECD, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development is an international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives. OECD goal is to shape policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity and well-being for all. OECD was a Working Party on Biotechnology.

WFCC

WFCC, is a Multidisciplinary Commission of the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS) and a Federation within the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS). The WFCC is concerned with the collection, authentication, maintenance and distribution of cultures of microorganisms and cultured cells.

WDCM

WFCC-MIRCEN World Data Centre for Microorganisms (WDCM), was set up as data center of the World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC). The WDCM is a vehicle for networking microbial resource centres of various types of microbes. It also serves as an information resource for the customers of the microbial resource centers.

USCCN

The United States Culture Collections Network (USCCN) is a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Research Coordination Network that supports and promotes the safe and responsible utilization of microbial resources. USCCN is now in phase two of its activities (USCCN 2.0) and will expand its scope and reach by making new connections and building global relationships with current and new sources of culture and living collections.
