Joining forces with EMBRC will be highly beneficial for both sides and for European science,\u201d explains Edith Heard. \u201cThe various forms of potential collaborations, in particular with regard to EMBL\u2019s European coastline exploration project, are manifold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embrc.eu\/\">European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC)<\/a>, is a European research infrastructure that provides researchers and companies with access to marine organisms and the facilities to study them, including experimental facilities and technological platforms. With this memorandum of understanding, the organisations join forces to understand at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and population levels how microbes, algae, plants, and animals interact with each other and respond to environmental change. As well as supporting research teams from across Europe, EMBL and EMBRC will pursue the development of novel experimental systems, specialist equipment such as imaging technologies, and environmental monitoring sensors and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are looking forward to supporting EMBL\u2019s new programme and to offering our respective communities new and exciting research, innovation, and knowledge-exchange opportunities,\u201d says Nicolas Pade. \u201cWe believe that European and international researchers will benefit greatly from this collaborative effort to enhance science, innovation, and training.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EMBL and EMBRC have signed a memorandum of understanding for increased scientific
