Implementation and Sustainability of Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure for 21st Century

The Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure (MIRRI) is the European research infrastructure project that will offer the highest quality scientific support microbial resources: high-quality microorganisms, associated data and the broad expertise in research and development in the biotechnology field. It is founded to serve the development of bioscience and bioindustry; promote biodiversity. But to do that MIRRI must also ensure its sustainability for the future decades. The EU-funded IS_MIRRI21 project aims to close interoperation with academia, governmental laboratories and private sector offering them access to its portfolio of microbial biological Resource Centres, services and education. A single-entry point portal will be created to promote offered services and collaboration.
