The European Union promotes an unexpected level of synergies, bridging Life and Computational Sciences
The European Union promotes an unexpected level of synergies, bridging Life and Computational SciencesLast Friday 23rd of February three large European Union projects converged at the National Center for Biotechnology, CNB -CSIC, in Madrid, showing the power of bridging across disciplines and promoting interdisciplinary.
Indeed, two workshops from two Networks of Excellence were combined with experts from the strategic EGEE Project (Enabling Grids for E-SciencE) so that experimental biologist were explaining their application to IT specialists while the IT specialists were explaining the grid to the biologists, providing an unprecedented level of cross dissemination among disciplines.
The experimental biologists came from the Network of Excellence on "New Electron Microscopy Approaches for studying protein complexes and cellular supremolecular architecture", the Bioinformaticians from the "EMBRACE" Network of Excellence on Grids for Bioinformatics ("An European Model for Bioinformatics Research and Community Education") and the Information Technology specialist from the EGEE project.
At the end of one week interactive course most mixed teams experimental biologist-computer scientist were able to use the computational world wide Grid of the EGEE project, submitting their works and monitoring their execution.
