3rd Meeting of European Systems Biology Centres, 23 October 09, London, UK
Representatives from 30 European institutions met to seek consensus on the
concept of an infrastructure. The Infrastructure for Systems Biology Europe (ISBE) aims to address the grand challenge of developing a systematic
understanding of complex biological processes in living organisms, including the
human, and to develop and implement the necessary enabling technologies. Links

Call for transnational research projects!
A subset of 10 ERASysBio partners will fund a 2nd transnational joint call to stimulate interdisciplinary research
throughout ERA in this field. Deadline for pre-proposal submission is 5th January 2009.
For the call text and
detailed instructions, please follow the link |
|
A draft version of the programme is available
for download (PDF, 137kB). The workshop will take place at Congress
Centrum Alpbach. The organizers will provide lunch and coffee breaks but
will not cover travel and accommodation of participants. Spaces are limited
so please DO REGISTER to guarantee a place at this workshop.”

| Strategy Paper Systems biology is an emerging field with different possible approaches in different contexts. Intrinsic to systems biology is, however, its interdisciplinary nature and the common aim of achieving the quantitative understanding of dynamic biological processes through the use of mathematical and statistical analyses to integrate biological data in order to develop predictive models of biological behaviour…..

ERASysBio is a transnational funding initiative to support the convergence of life sciences with information technology & systems science.
ERASysBio brings together 16 ministries and funding agencies from 13 countries to coordinate their national research programmes in systems
biology and agree on a common European research agenda.

As an ERA-NET, ERASysBio is committed to supporting the establishment
of the European Research Area (ERA) in the field of systems biology by stimulating and facilitating programme coordination and joint
activities in the field; not only in EU Member States but also in associated countries.

SysMO is the pilot call under the umbrella of ERASysBio.
SysMO provides funding for research on “Systems Biology in Micro-organisms”. It is financed by DE, AT, NL, NO,
UK and ES. Eleven transnational research projects involving 91 groups are funded under this initiative with financial national
contributions from all partners and an overall investment of €28M.

 | The discipline of systems biology
aims at understanding the dynamic interaction between components of a living system or between living systems.
Systems biology is an approach by which biological questions are addressed through integrating experiments with computational
modelling, simulation and theory, in iterative cycles. Modelling is not the final goal, but is a tool to increase understanding
of the system, to develop more directed experiments and finally allow predictions. |
