Objective Description:The Infrastructure Cooperation Network on "NMR Structural Biology in Life Sciences in the Post-Genomic Era" involves 12 participating groups drawn from four Large Scale Facilities implemented in the 4th Framework Programme and supported also in the 5th FP, five user group representatives, one manufacturing company of NMR instrumentation and two eminent scientists from USA.The Infrastructure Cooperation Network aims at monitoring and improving the quality and quantity of access to the networked infrastructures. Reports on this point are produced yearly. To enhance the performance of the networked infrastructures, improvements for technological and methodological tools will be pursued. They will be made available to the users of the infrastructures in order to make the provided service more time- and cost-effective, and to improve the quality of the results achieved at the facilities.A virtual network will be established connecting the networked laboratories, in order to speed up the spreading of good practices and methodologies implemented in each laboratory. It will also constitute a frame for the diffusion of the results achieved in the activities of the network.Finally, the network will also tackle the issue of increasing the quantity of access, by fostering a culture of collaboration and cooperation among European laboratories within the frame of post-genomic research. The wave of the structural genomics programs will presumably invest the LSFs.Project Manager:Ivano BertiniCentro Risonanze MagneticheVia Luigi Sacconi 6Sesto Fiorentino50019ItalyTel: +39-055-4209272Fax: +39-055-4209271E-Mail: Bertini@cerm.unifi.it Fields of science natural sciencesbiological sciencesgeneticsnatural sciencesbiological sciencesmolecular biologystructural biology Programme(s) FP5-HUMAN POTENTIAL - Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Improving the human research potential and the socio-economic knowledge base" (1998-2002) Topic(s) 1.4.1.-2. - Access to Research Infrastructures Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme THN - Thematic network contracts Coordinator UNIVERSITY OF FLORENCE EU contribution No data Address 75/77,via Gino Capponi 9 50121 FIRENZE Italy See on map Total cost No data Participants (9) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTIFICAS Spain EU contribution No data Address Serrano 119 28006 MADRID See on map Total cost No data ECOLE NORMALE SUPERIEURE France EU contribution No data Address Rue Lhomond 24 75231 PARIS See on map Total cost No data EUROPEAN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY LABORATORY Germany EU contribution No data Address Meyerhofstrasse 1 69117 HEIDELBERG See on map Total cost No data JOHANN WOLFGANG GOETHE UNIVERSITAET FRANKFURT Germany EU contribution No data Address 7,Marie-Curie-Strasse 9 60439 FRANKFURT AM-MAIN See on map Total cost No data MEDICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address Hills Road CB2 2QH Cambridge See on map Total cost No data NEW YORK STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY CENTER United States EU contribution No data Address One Battery Park Plaza C/O New York City Partnersh 1004-1479 NEW YORK See on map Total cost No data THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address South Parks Road OX1 3QT OXFORD See on map Total cost No data University of California United States EU contribution No data Address B84A Hildebrand Hall 94720 BERKELEY CA See on map Total cost No data WAGENINGEN UNIVERSITY Netherlands EU contribution No data Address Dreijenlaan 3 6703 HA WAGENINGEN See on map Total cost No data
