MICROBES-4-CLIMATE provides access to 144 cutting-edge research services across Europe, catering to both academic and industry researchers. These services support curiosity-driven research addressing complex interactions between microorganisms, plants, soil, and the environment, all within the framework of Climate Change.
What type of services are offered through TNAs?
MICROBES-4-CLIMATE provides an extensive range of Transnational Access (TNA) services and facilities to support groundbreaking research in addressing climate change and its impact on biodiversity and ecosystems. These services include the supply and preservation of biological resources, by ensuring that high-quality, well-maintained microbial resources are accessible to researchers worldwide. The project further supports the isolation, identification, and characterisation of microbial resources from soil and plant samples, offering a comprehensive understanding of microbial diversity and its potential applications. To exploit the research outcomes, on-site access to specialised facilities is provided for controlled plant cultivation and phenotyping. Advanced soil and plant characterisation technologies are also made available, enabling detailed analysis of ecosystems and agricultural systems. The project harnesses cutting-edge Big Data and Machine Learning infrastructure and tools to facilitate data-driven approaches and innovative solutions. Additionally, remote consultancy services are offered to guide researchers in fully leveraging these resources, ensuring that M4C remains a key partner in the promotion of sustainable research and innovation.
