European Genomics Collaborative Issues First Call for Proposals

“NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) — The European Advanced Infrastructure for Innovative Genomics (EASI-Genomics) today issued a first call for proposals for a range of projects that will be able to take advantage of the group's next-generation sequencing technologies and services.

EASI-Genomics, which is funded with €10 million ($11.3 million) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 program, is tasked with providing free access to NGS technologies and genomic services to researchers from industry and academia. It was launched earlier this year and aims to support between 150 and 300 projects over the next four years.“
