SymbNET “Genomics and Metabolomics in a Host-Microbe Symbiosis Network"
SymbNET is a European network for host-microbe interactions research, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
The project coordinated by FCG-IGC (Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, Portugal), brings together the world-leading research institutions EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Germany), CAU (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany), and UNIL (Université de Lausanne, Switzerland), and another local widening partner ITQB NOVA (Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica, Portugal).
SymbNET aims at establishing a European network in the use of Genomics and Metabolomics in Host-Microbe Symbiosis research, to capacitate the widening institutions, and promote this crucial growing area of research at the local and international level. Host-microbe interactions constitutes a fundamental research field of growing interest, which also impacts human health. Research in this field requires multidisciplinary, highly skilled teams and collaborative research.
SymbNET brings together a consortium of leaders in the field that present a wide range of expertise, technological knowledge, scientific questions and approaches in Host-Microbe Symbiosis. SymbNET promotes transfer of knowledge and collaborations through programs of Researchers and Staff visit exchanges, collaborative projects, sponsoring the use of new technologies, organizing scientific meetings, workshops, PhD Summer Schools, and a European meeting on Host-Microbe Symbiosis. It develops actions targeted at Early Stage Researchers to promote their research, training, mentoring, and networking, ensuring gender equality in participation.
