On 22 July 2021, the EC announced that 11 projects were short-listed for funding, with total funding of €120 million. The 11 projects involve 312 research teams from 40 countries in Europe and beyond, which are addressing the emergency request to tackle the most complex societal problems. Among 11 projects ISIDORe - Integrated Services for Infectious Disease Outbreak Research – will receive funding of 21 mil. EUR.
The project, coordinated by ERINHA, comprises a core consortium of 17 entities - 6 EU-funded networks EVA, VetBioNet, INFRAVEC, Sonar-Global, TRANSVAC, and MIRRI, 1 nationally - funded surveillance network EMERGEN, and 10 legally established ESFRI infrastructures: INSTRUCT, EuBi, EU-OS, ECRIN, EATRIS, BBMRI, INFRAFRONTIER, EMBRC, ELIXIR, and ERINHA. CIISB, as a Czech National Centre of Instruct-ERIC, is a part of it and will provide structural biology services for rapid research responses to Covid-19 and other infectious diseases.
Pavel Kadeřávek became the new head of the Josef Dadok National NMR Centre on 1 July. Pavel has a scientific background in NMR methodology development, study of biomolecule dynamics, characterization of minority states of biomolecules and IDPs.
