Objective
The large natural history collections of Europe constitute an immensely significant resource for
scientific research. SYNTHESYS is a partnership of 19 of the European natural history collections-
holding institutions designed to create an integrated European infrastructure for researchers in the
natural sciences from a complementary but widely distributed and largely un-coordinated resource. It
aims to create a single 'virtual' museum service consisting of many physical collections, analytical
facilities and integrated databases of information about those collections. Mechanisms for achieving
this include a series of network activities: a complementarity activity bringing together information on
the strengths of each institution's collections and expertise leading to a co-ordinated European
development plan; a standards activity setting and assessing standards for the long-term preservation
of and access to these collections and identifying priority collections for improvement through
mechanisms such as training courses. A third activity coordinates the development of collection
databases across Europe to create an integrated, distributed European collection. New types of
collections such as tissue samples for molecular study are addressed by the fourth activity with
policies and common methodologies the main foci of the work. The fifth activity reviews new physical
analytical methods from other disciplines and how they might be applied in systematics and other
studies. A management activity will interact with all the above to ensure that the SYNTHESYS is
delivered to time and to budget. Products of these activities will include a series of workshops and
conferences; best practice publications; web-based publications and database access. The networking
activities will add value to the integrated access that will be provided to 19 institutions via the 11
national TAFs.

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.
