5. Summary / objectives

 

Europe has many world-leading laboratories in epigenetic research. Based on two diverse proposals, The Epigenome Network of Excellence (NoE) has merged 25 research groups, plus 26 associate members and 12 NETs. This consortium has successfully negotiated within the Framework 6 programme (FP6) of the European Union (EU) for a grant of 12.5 M€ to establish a coherent European Research Area (ERA) in epigenetic research during the next 5 years (2004-2009). The NoE will create a Virtual Core Institute with three important aims:
  1. To advance scientific discoveries via a joint research programme
  2. To integrate young colleagues via the NET-programme
  3. To establish an open dialogue by building an interactive Web site

All of the founding members of the NoE have agreed to contribute to a joint programme of activities (JPA) which is composed of 25 well-defined work packages to strengthen joint research, integration and dissemination. The launch of The Epigenome NoE under FP6 can only be regarded as a founding incentive, and additional funds are required for the durable shaping of the proposed structure.

The Epigenome NoE officially started in June 2004 and has now reached its functional size where it undergoes a phase of consolidation. It aims to provide clear and visible benefits for the entire epigenetic community and as such will support both members and non-members with conferences, work-shops, training visits, shared resources and an interactive Web site. It is the vision of this NoE to develop a powerful framework that can assimilate existing synergies and maintain European epigenetic research as a world-leading force.
