Infrastructure objectives
MIRRI will support researchers from academia and bio-industry through:
· facilitated access to genetic resources via the envisioned MIRRI
portal
-> one-stop-shop for material, data and expertise
-> fostering the establishment of national mBRC networks to
increase the MIRRI offer
· broader coverage of genetic resources
-> coordinated approach towards isolation and deposit of
microorganisms
-> increased visibility of smaller holdings via the MIRRI portal
· improved service offer from mBRCs
-> coordination of available services
-> tailor-made services
-> increased visibility of services offered by smaller collections
· interoperability of data
-> facilitated data mining
-> trusted data
· ensure legal compliance
-> specific expert cluster for consultation
· increase knowledge transfer to users
-> various expert clusters for consultation
-> training and education programme
· support of smaller culture collections
-> implementation of best practice for transition to a mBRC
- The MIRRI Integrated Solution will provide solutions to the problems currently existing for researchers working with microbial resources.
Full operability of MIRRI is envisioned for 2017; nevertheless some basic user services are already available.
