Italy pledges to be part of ELIXIR research infrastructure
Date:7/12/2012

ays Anna Tramontano, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". 'It represents an important opportunity for our national scientific community to contribute in a significant way to solving the critical problems in managing biological data, and transforming that raw data into knowledge. The time is ripe for delivering innovative, sustainable solutions for medicine, environmental science, the bio-industries and society as a whole. I believe that our participation in ELIXIR signals a turning point in Europe's capacity to face the major challenges in this area. Italy has committed to following a path that leads to a new era in biological data sharing and management, and its membership in ELIXIR forms the basis for contributing our national knowledge resources in a way that will benefit all of Europe."

Professor Sren Brunak, chair of the ELIXIR Interim Board, adds: "ELIXIR aims to establish partnerships throughout Europe, and it is very positive that our coverage has expanded to include Italy one of the largest populations in our part of the world. We need the competence offered by Italy to complement those offered by the other participating nations so that we may build a strong data infrastructure in Europe. Italy has a long tradition in bioinformatics, and we can benefit from their expertise."

"We are extremely pleased that Italy has taken this important step," says Professor Dame Janet Thornton, Director of the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and coordinator of ELIXIR's preparatory phase. "There is a clear consensus that we must establish a sustainable infrastructure for the life science data produced in Europe. With the support of 12 nations, we are confident that the construction phase of ELIXIR can move forward and we can get this crucial infrastructure off the ground."
