The pan-European Biological and Medical Research Infrastructure Working Group projects on the ESFRI roadmap2 provide an interdisciplinary, innovative environment in the field of life sciences and health research where world-leading investigators conduct forefront research using open access to cutting-edge technologies and scientific data.
Many other projects similar to ppEMBRC are engaged in various activities towards EU Research and Innovation. For example, each of the BMS RIs (see all BMS RIs) will be a pillar of the European Research Area (ERA) and the European Society, and together they provide the foundation for innovative research to develop the solutions for the grand societal challenges. The BMS RIs provide the perfect environment to closely link basic research to medical application, thereby contributing to the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy to increase European competitiveness and to build a new economy based on knowledge and innovation. They provide service, training and access to world-class research infrastructures for scientists in academia as well as industry.
The BMS RIs substantially support the aims of the Innovation Union initiative of strengthening the ERA, promoting better linkage of research and innovation, capitalizing on Europe’s creative potential, and focusing EU funding instruments on Innovation Union priorities.
