rete italiana delle collezioni microbiche

SUS-MIRRI.IT: Unimore attends the mid-term meeting of the project to strengthen the Italian net-
work of microbial collections

Financed with 17 million euros from the PNRR, SUS-MIRRI.IT is a research project that aims to strengthen
Italian microbial collections in order to explore microbial biodiversity. The project, in which Unimore also
participates with Prof. Maria Gullo, involves 24 Operating Units located throughout Italy and belonging to 15
different research institutions. Fourteen months after the start of activities, the interim meeting of the project
was held in Rome, at the CNR headquarters, where the main results achieved so far were presented and
reported. The event was attended by about 120 participants in presence from all over Italy and over 100
connected remotely representing the participating institutions. Among the objectives of SUS-MIRRI.IT are the
pursuit of international quality standards for certification and the realisation of a management system, as
well as a single platform for access to conserved microbial resources (including their associated metadata),
state-of-the-art technologies, services and expertise provided to national and international stakeholders. All
project details and news are constantly communicated on the website (www.sus-mirri.it).
