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.

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.

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.
