  1. Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure General Information

  2. Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure MIRRI • builds a pan-European distributed research infrastructure that provides facilitated access to high quality microorganisms, their derivatives, associated data and services for research, development and application • connects public resource centres with researchers and policy makers as well as other stakeholders to deliver material and services more effectively and efficiently to meet the needs of innovation in biotechnology

  3. Background During the Preparatory Phase (2012-2015) the MIRRI consortium comprises 16 Partners (dark orange) and 20 Collaborating Parties (light orange), representing 19 countries throughout Europe. Objectives during the Preparatory Phase: 2012 2015 +

  4. MIRRI within the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) MIRRI will complement other ESFRI initiatives by covering yet underrepresented but important research areas in biotechnology. [Click to get more information about ESFRI and ESFRI projects.]

  5. What is the need for MIRRI? MIRRI is situated within a gigantic bio-industry sectcor with > 50,000 biotech companies in Europe, with ~ 22 million employees, generating ~ 2 trillion Euros (2010-2012) BUT… http://www.ey.com/GL/en/Issues/Business-environment/building-a-better-working-world

  6. … the information is fragmented! resources? services? ? ? ? ? ? ? data? user user user user user user training? suboptimal exploitation of accessible resources expertise? access?

  7. Main challenges for MIRRI • Fundamental uncertainty about the full value inherent in microbial resources and how to access it • Major shortcomings in the way data on microbial resources is presented • The quality and reproducibility of microbial science need significant improvement • Microbial diversity services need to be trusted and sustained • The need to be able to capture value and benefit from microbial resources

  8. MIRRI offers Integrated Solution

  9. Protection of investment by • implementation of a common acquisition policy • to increase capacity and engender trust • to facilitate access to materials from countries of mega diversity • changing the paradigm for using non-authenticated reference strains, thereby improving credibility of science • ensure that key reference strains from publications are available for the furtherance of science • consistency with research council policy • return of investment for funders • establishment of networks of interdisciplinary collaborations • facilitated access to other infrastructures

  10. Protection of investment • effective knowledge management • improve the creation, dissemination and exploitation of knowledge for the purpose of fostering innovation and increasing effectiveness • knowledge and technology transfer via the MIRRI enriched knowledge pools (e.g. expert clusters)

  11. Coordination of offer and expertise by • implementation of an appropriate legal and operational structure ERIC = European Research Infrastructure Consortium CCU = Central Coordinating Unit

  12. Coordination of offer and expertise • matching of current and future holdings • avoid redundancy, create space for new deposits • establishment of a "One-Stop-Shop" • single point entry portal to the MIRRI consortium and its offers (resources, data, services, expertise) • harmonised quality standards • usage of resources in a legal compliant manner • support for users regarding e.g. Nagoya Protocol • establish expert clusters for consultation • exploit MIRRI knowledge pool • interdisciplinary training of scientists

  13. Coordination of offer and expertise today tomorrow

  14. Holistic approach to data management via the MIRRI Information System (IS) mBRC: microbialdomain Biological ResourceCentre

  15. MIRRI-IS added value • Reference (curated) genome sequences • Reference (curated) functional gene sequences from cultures • Rich and curated set of contextual data for each entry • Integrated access across mBRCs: sequence, metabolic, chemical and environmental databases • Support with species circumscription, deposition of strains, sequence data and metadata • Reference identification service = Taxonomy • Marker genes • Genomics (ANI) • Mapping of meta”Omics” to references for taxonomic and functional profiling • Custom tailored data packages

  16. Integrated Solution by • a package of customer-tailored offers regarding access to resources, data, expertise and services leading to • increased numbers of innovations, thereby enhancing EU competiveness in the knowledge-based bio-economy • stimulation of the economic growth, thereby creating new jobs • solutions to the Grand Challenges

  17. MIRRI Integrated Solution enhanced research in academia and industry, e.g. innovation environment health agriculture biotech energy & climate academia new sources for biofuels clearing of ecological desaster increase food production industrial products antagonists against pathogens R&D biodiversity industry fighting climate change fighting crop failure functional food climate action, resource efficiency & raw material sustainable agriculture, food security inclusive, innovative & secure societies health & wellbeing secure, clean & efficient energy smart & green transport Horizon 2020

  18. What makes MIRRI different? What is the special thing about being an infrastructure? • Together, MIRRI can afford the full range of often expensive technologies needed to explore biodiversity: an integrated spectrum of equipment, data, service, knowledge etc. • Together, MIRRI provides access to the entire spectrum of microorganisms accessible via a single entry point • Together, MIRRI sets European standards of collection, curation and analysis • Together, MIRRI sets ambitious, collaborative research goals over extended periods • Together, MIRRI can share best practices, standards, data, personnel, knowledge etc.

  19. What makes MIRRI different? • Together, MIRRI can grow the tree of innovation
