Consolidating the capacities of EATRIS-ERIC for Personalised Medicine

Project description

Overcoming personalised medicine challenges

The European Advanced Translational Research Infrastructure in Medicine (EATRIS) provides integrated access to the combined expertise and high-end technologies for developing new products in translational medicine. During its first five years, it provided its services to a wide range of users such as academia, SMEs, large pharma and biotech research institutes. The EU-funded EATRIS-Plus project intends to support the long term sustainability (LTS) of the EATRIS by offering advanced scientific instruments to the academic community, improving its financial model and strengthening its leadership in the field of personalised medicine (PM). The project will be implemented in 16 EU countries supporting the collection and utilisation of translational academic abilities in omic technologies to increase research on the scientific and societal challenges related to PM.

Objective

In the first five years of operations, EATRIS has shown strong proof of concept of the value of the services portfolio, with users ranging from academia, SMEs, large pharma, to biotech and research funding organisations. The overarching aim of EATRIS-Plus is to support the long-term sustainability (LTS) of EATRIS by delivering innovative scientific tools to the research community, strengthening the infrastructure’s financial model and reinforcing EATRIS leadership in the European Research Area (ERA), particularly in the field of Personalised Medicine (PM) research and development.
Specific objectives are: (i) To consolidate EATRIS capacities in the field of PM to better serve academia and industry and augment the number of EATRIS Innovation Hubs with large pharma; (ii) To further strengthen the LTS of EATRIS financial model; (iii) To drive patient empowerment through active involvement in the infrastructure’s operations; (iv) To expand strategic partnerships with Research Infrastructures and other relevant stakeholders. The proposal relies on a scientific and technological programme combined with capacity-building activities across 16 EU countries, with the support of two umbrella organisations representing patient organisations and SMEs.
EATRIS-Plus will help pooling and exploiting the translational academic capacities of the infrastructure in omic technologies to enable researchers to better address the scientific and societal challenge of PM. Additionally, the coordination office and 13 existing national nodes of the infrastructure will participate in implementing joint outreach, training, industry engagement and international collaboration activities to further build national capacity, increase users’ trust and strengthen EATRIS and the ERA global scientific leadership.
