EMMA projects - INFRAFRONTIER
The INFRAFRONTIER project will organize two complementary and linked infrastructure networks for large-scale and comprehensive phenotyping and archiving of mouse models. This project will serve the European genetics and biomedical research community for the benefit of human health.
INFRAFRONTIER integrates 15 European laboratories with exceptional track records in the integration and running of large-scale infrastructures. INFRAFRONTIER will build on existing infrastructures developed under EMMA and EUMODIC and forms a coalition with a significant number of funding agencies to develop the prerequisites for a common European infrastructure.
The INFRAFRONTIER project aims to organise a stable and sustainable infrastructure by:
The identification of the most suitable legal form
Developing a business plan based on a sustainable funding concept
Reaching a legal agreement between all partners
Providing a strategic plan for the construction phase
By providing a user-driven platform, INFRAFRONTIER will ensure Europe maintains a leading position in the global competition for resources and knowledge associated with medically relevant mouse models.
