SUS-MIRRI.IT will develop Research, Services and Training within the Italian network of culture collections MIRRI-IT. Through the project we aim to increase the bioresources stored at the MIRRI-IT RI, improving their characterization and optimising their management, thus unlocking their genomic and metabolic potential. The optimised management of the resources coupled with the digital platform and data handling/sharing strategy will lead to further discoveries and the establishment of innovative solutions and products of biotechnological interest, stimulating the bio- and circular economy.
SUS-MIRRI.IT is coordinated by University of Turin, involves 15 institutions with 24 UOs, funded by National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) is granted by the European Commission’s NextGenerationEU programme, with a total budget of about €17.000.000
