EURLIPIDS

EUR.LIPIDS | Interreg Euregio Meuse-Rhin (interregemr.eu) - The Project EURLIPIDS 

INITIATIVE

Eurlipids is realized within the framework of Interreg V-A Euregio Meuse-Rhine with the support of the European Regional 

Development Fund of the European Union.

THE PROJECT

The Euregio is using its expertise and knowledge to develop a virtual platform for lipid-based solutions and technologies ("Lipid Valley")

To this end, a cluster of research institutes, industrial partners and SMEs has been founded and is based on 3 pillars

• Human capacity building for lipid research in MRE including a study component for MA and PhD students
• Research of new analytical methods (biomarkers, biomedical materials) ;
• The development and marketing of new clinical products in order to economically valorize the research activities.
• In order for the industrial partners, SMEs and spin-offs, who have collaborated in this project to benefit from their participation, the research and valorisation activities will lead to solutions protected by patents

"An infrastructure project: H2020 Infra EU_FT-ICR_MS - DLV-731077, in which the ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry platform is included in a European network for access to research infrastructures.

The EU FT-ICR MS project aims to establish a European network of FT-ICR (Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance) mass spectrometry (MS) centers in association with a software manufacturer and SME."

OBJECTIVES

1. To provide access to world-class FT-ICR MS centers to the academic, industrial and SME communities in the European Union.
2. To build an EU community of scientists and end-users of FT-ICR
3. Enable EU research centers to have access to open source data and software
4. Encourage innovative and collaborative research between Europe's academic scientists and private industry by strengthening the scope of FT-ICR MS
