BioMedBridges was among the 18 projects that attended the Marine and biological sciences infrastructures interaction and collaboration workshop organised by EMBRC at the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research in Crete, 28-30th May 2013. EMBRC is one of the BMS research infrastructures involved in the BioMedBridges project.
The topics of the workshop covered Interoperability and user access, e-infrastructure, and the issue of innovation (knowledge exchange, intellectual property rights, promotion and marketing). The main aim was to explore and share experiences on these topics, identify common ground and goals, and discuss how the community as a whole can proceed on these common matters. BioMedBridges contributed with a presentation describing our approach on interoperability and data integration. Many of the participating projects are also tackling issues in interoperability, and it was particularly useful to discuss and share experiences with delegates from the Micro B3 and BioVel projects. The workshop report (PDF) is available online on the EMBRC website.
EMBRC hosted a successful workshop in a beautiful location, and we would like to thank the organisers for the invitation. BioMedBridges was delighted to participate in this workshop and we look forward to further interactions with the other participating projects.
