SynBIOsis project aims at putting together two research-driven clusters in the field covering the intersection of biotechnology/life science and ICT, more specifically, in the domains of bioinformatics, nano bioscience, computational biology and biomedicine. The two partner regions – South Moravia (Czech Republic) and Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy) - share an interest in this particular research domain and also an interest in developing outstanding research infrastructures. While the Italian region has highly reputed research infrastructures in place (FERMI@Elettra, a part of ESRRI Road Map, located in Area Science Park), South Moravia is in the process of designing its new research infrastructure and plans to fund it primarily from the EU Structural Funds infrastructures. Ultimate project goals are:

• link and valorise the research infrastructures located in the concerned two regions and strengthen collaborations with the relevant business sectors.
• raise collaborations, search for complementarities and synergies for a better absorption of the European Structural Funds,
• share knowledge for a better design and implementation of the to-be-built infrastructures in South Moravia to increase their economic relevance and impact on the local economies.
