REFBAR Reinforcing network for enriched freshwater phytoplankton barcode library
Coordinator: INSTITUTE OF CHEMISTRY, TECHNOLOGY AND METALLURGY (RS)
The aim of REFBAR project is to create an International, Intersectoral and Interdisciplinary network to facilitate the exchange of staff to progress developments in eDNA metabarcoding and genetic reference library for freshwater plankton microalgae that can significantly enhance data quality, data quantity and usability across aquatic ecosystems in Europe and beyond. The focus will be on developing staff and partner skills in the areas of long-read sequencing, (meta)barcoding, and metadata standards coupled with improved molecular bioinformatics techniques which in turn will offer more reliab…
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.
0 EU contribution: €726k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2026-01-01 to 2029-12-31.
