Hanseatic Life Science Research Infrastructure Consortium

HALRIC kick-off full-day meeting in Copenhagen.

The HALRIC project is an EU-supported initiative to increase the utilization of the strong and unique life science research infrastructures and competences present in Northern Europe - more precisely Denmark, Southern Sweden, the Hamburg region, and the Oslo region.

The primary aim of the initiative is to increase the engagement of companies and hospitals in research collaborations with the large-scale infrastructures (MAX IV, ESS, EuXFEL and DESY) and with smaller-scale infrastructures, through supporting up to 75 collaborative pilot projects.

The consortium will also work on prototype models for handling the huge amounts of electronic data generated by such highly-specialized infrastructures, and on strengthening the life science ecosystems and strategic dialogues between the countries.
