Objective
The aim of the proposal is to maintain and further develop the European Molecular Biology Network (EMBnet), a group formed by 26 specialist centres in biotechnology.
These are mandated by national science agencies to carry out the service and research oriented duties described in the statutes of the EMBnet foundation (annex 1). This concerted action project will provide coordinating activities, as well as technical, educational and promotional support for EMBnet. EMBnet primarily distributes data and offers computational access and user training on molecular databases used in biotechnology. The EMBnet nodes primary goals are to provide support at national level, distribution of databases and programs and organise training at both beginner as well as advance levels. EMBnet represents a wide European user group and works closely together with the database producers such as EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), The University of Geneva (Swiss-Prot), the Martinsried Institut fuer Proteinsequenzen (MIPS), in order to provide a uniform coverage of services throughout Europe. EMBnet is registered in the Netherlands as a public foundation (Stichting). Within the European Union EMBnet has 20 member institutions which are associated partners in this proposal. (All EU countries, except Luxembourg, have at least one EMBnet node). - Coordination and organization: EMBnet is governed by the Annual EMBnet Meeting (AGM), and is coordinated by an Executive Board that oversees the activities of three project committees: Education and Training E&T), Promotion and Public relations (P&R), Research and Development (R&D).
- The technical support is in the form of a user help-desk and the Technical Manager project that provides assistance and practical help to the participating nodes and their users.
- Educational support will include a series of courses organized in the European countries and languages, as well as the continued development of on-line accessible education materials.
- Promotional activities will include the continued operation of Internet news groups and mailing lists, the publication and distribution of an electronic journal, the "embnet.news", and of hard copy promotional materials. The project provides true subsidiarity - EMBnet creates new value by interlinking the distributed national investments and expertise. The project aims to improve the scope of qervices, to enhance the awareness to bioinformatics within Europe and will continue to recruit users and member nodes from the industrial communities.
