Reinforcing network for enriched freshwater phytoplankton barcode library

Objective

The aim of REFBAR project is to create an International, Intersectoral and Interdisciplinary network to facilitate the exchange of staff to progress developments in eDNA metabarcoding and genetic reference library for freshwater plankton microalgae that can significantly enhance data quality, data quantity and usability across aquatic ecosystems in Europe and beyond. The focus will be on developing staff and partner skills in the areas of long-read sequencing, (meta)barcoding, and metadata standards coupled with improved molecular bioinformatics techniques which in turn will offer more reliable DNA reference library for eukaryotic and prokaryotic photoautotrophs. The consortium is comprised of an international network of beneficiaries and partners with internationally-recognized track record on metabarcoding and world leaders in development of eDNA filters and portable next-generation sequencing capabilities. The academic beneficiaries will benefit from gaining experience in the development of on-site filtering of eDNA, third generation sequencing and bioinformatics. Industrial staff will benefit from bi-lateral exchanges from the scientific domains of biosystematics and freshwater ecology that is necessary for developing innovative eDNA solutions from the first sampling step to bioinformatics pipeline.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
This project's classification has been validated by the project's team.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
