Objetivo Thanks to the recent spectacular advances in the "-omics" disciplines and in information technology (IT), the biosciences are heading for another revolution: the in silico simulation of complex life processes. This branch of research, termed systems biology (SB), combines concepts from molecular biology, engineering sciences, mathematics and IT in a holistic approach to complex biological systems, for example living cells. SB is currently being promoted intensively in ambitious funding initiatives in particular in the United States and Japan.So far there is no competitive Europe-wide networked research in SB. However, there are several renowned research groups in the SB field across Europe. It is necessary to close this gap as soon as possible and to include relevant activities in related disciplines. The individual Work Packages of the planned Specific Support Action (SSA) EUSYSBIO are to effectively bundle existing strengths and competences, identify existing weaknesses and coordinate ongoing SB activities. EUSYSBIO will thus lay the foundation for the successful start of European SB within the framework of FP6.Europe's innovative biotech industry, - mainly consisting of SMEs- has all the necessary know-how required to use the opportunities offered by the commercialisation of SB results. This competitive advantage should be used immediately in order to ensure for Europe a leading position in international SB research.Within the framework of EUSYSBIO, numerous stakeholders from science, politics and industry will work closely together to achieve this goal: In addition to bringing together Europe's most renowned SB experts, the SSA will focus on the training of young scientists, on the international networking of activities and relevant players and on contacts with science, industry and the general public. EUSYSBIO will form the nucleus of further European activities and prepare start of a powerful pan-European research initiative in SB.
