 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Systems biology is still considered a young discipline in the field of life sciences. It integrates mathematics, chemistry, physics, informatics, engineering and other fields in biological research. The fragmentation of the discipline concerns all levels of the field: (i) It confronts researchers with a new combination of knowledge, methods, skills and expertise from different disciplines. (ii) It challenges funders overcome obstacles hindering cross organisational funding - across national boarders. (iii) It dares policymakers set goals outside the limits of preconceived structures. It is the interdisciplinary that makes collaboration imperative - on all levels. Therefore the ERASysBio partners firmly believe that systems biology offers the ideal vehicle to implement pan-European collaboration in order to overcome the still success limiting fragmentation within systems biology. The aim of this proposal is to implement a large transnational call enabling transnational, collaborative research projects in systems biology research. The funding organisations represented by this consortium are aiming to i.) jointly pave the way for systems biology research to interact outside the boundaries set by national regulations, ii.) widen the landscape beyond that of well established groups and contribute to integrating groups from regions where the systems approach and its funding are only just emerging. The ERA-NET-Plus instrument is the only instrument to effectively combine national and European funding efforts in a efforts in a joint funding measure achieve the abovementioned ambitious goals. .'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Understanding biological complexity requires the cooperation of different scientific disciplines. The EU supports the integration of such efforts and envisions a boost in systems biology research in Europe.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Systems biology is a holistic approach that combines the study of molecules, pathways, cells and entire organisms. In addition, it incorporates the use of modelling approaches and simulation experiments. Collectively, systems biology helps to understand the dynamic interactions between components of a living system, between different organisms and their interaction with the environment.

Systems biology approaches are used in various applications of biomedicine, biotechnology and agri-food, for example. To integrate research efforts and funding in Europe, the EU-funded http://www.erasysbio.net/ (ERASYSBIO+) initiative brought together funding organisations and policymakers. Together, they implemented the transnational funding Systems Biology call ERASysBio+ in 2008.

The call attracted over 120 proposal submissions that were evaluated by a peer-reviewed international scientific advisory board. The process resulted in the recommendation of 20 projects for further negotiations, 16 of which received joint funding from the EU and national sources.

Funded projects covered a wide range of biological aspects, including development and apoptosis in animals and plants. Details on the scientific content of each project are given on the ERASYSBIO+ website. The progress of the funded projects was evaluated at different meetings, where considerable achievements and perspectives were also demonstrated. In the last meeting in 2013, most studies showed high-quality results and a few were even able to complete the full systems biology circle.

Based on their findings and developed technologies, most project-funded consortia moved on to initiate further collaborations, firmly consolidating systems biology research in Europe.
