Description: Das Projekt "FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES, European Research Infrastructure on Highly Pathogenic Agents (ERINHA)" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Kommission der Europäischen Gemeinschaften Brüssel. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale.In view of the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases involving highly pathogenic microorganisms, there is a strategic need for Europe to be well-prepared to face such threat. European countries thus need to have enough BSL4 laboratories at their disposal to fully manage diagnosis and development of prophylactic and therapeutics means against these types of pathogens. However, the BSL4 capacity in Europe has been poorly developed until now, even if recent efforts have been made to face potential bioterrorist attacks. Moreover, most of the European existing BSL4 structures lack biological resources management and training capacities. In this frame, the purpose of the ERINHA project is to create a top world-class research infrastructure that will address the BSL4 capacity sparseness in Europe. The scientific community must efficiently exploit the ERINHA infrastructure to allow high quality research for strong development of therapeutics means and diagnosis tools, harmonized biosafety and biosecurity procedures, efficient management of biological resources, substantial training capacities, and increased coordination capacities. These are all crucial activities to efficiently fight highly pathogenic agents. In line with the Lisbon strategy of establishing Europe as the worlds most competitive knowledge based economy, the ERINHA infrastructure aims at improving European competitiveness in the field of infectious diseases involving L4 pathogens, and in particular compared to the United States where indeed an important capacity in terms of BSL4 facilities does exist. Increasing the BSL4 capacity in Europe, through the creation of ERINHA infrastructure should allow the growth of dedicated scientific community in Europe and global pan-European coordination, necessary to achieve high quality research and European excellence in the field of infectious diseases.
