      I collaborated in the preparatory phase of the Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure (MIRRI), which is a EU funded FP7 project with the aim of improving access to high quality microbial/genetic resources and associated data. MIRRI connects resource holders with researchers and policy makers to meet the needs of innovation in biotechnological research and the bio-industry.
