NGS-4-ECOPROD FROM NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING MICROORGANISMS TOWARDS ECOFRIENDLY BIOTECH BASED PRODUCTS

Coordinator: CENTRE DE BIOTECHNOLOGIE DE SFAX - CBS (TN)

Biotechnology develops and applies microorganisms for the production of bioproducts with industrial interest. Next-generation-sequencing (NGS) plays an increasingly important role in improving and accelerating microbial strain development for existing and novel bioproducts via screening, gene and pathway discovery, metabolic engineering and additional optimization and understanding of large-scale manufacturing. NGS technologies have become main stream due to an important reduction in costs and an increase in sequence quality. However, data analysis still requires substantial bioinformatics ex…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €1.5M toward a total project budget of €1.5M — a funding rate of 100%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 3.5 years from 2022-10-01 to 2026-03-31.
