Collaborations in European Programs, Except FP7 & H2020

• Program: COST

• Project title: COST Action DNAqua.net

• Abstract: Pleiade is responsible for the WG "Data Analysis and storage" in this action. As such, we have organized with CNR Verbana (Italy) two Europeanwide workshops: one in Lyon in February 2019, and one in Limassol (Cyprus) in October 2019. As a follow up of these workshops, Pleiade and BioGeCo will be responsible for taking in charge data analysis of OTU picking in two European wide projects:

  • a benchmark for different tools for OTU picking, with datasets from different European teams

  • a comparison between different organisms (metabarcoding inventories) for assessing the quality of the water of Danube river, in collaboration with raparian countries

• Program: EOSC

• Project title: EOSC-Pillar

• Abstract: This is a follow up of our former participation in EOSC-Pilot. In collaboration with HiePACS, Pleiade is involved in task 7.4, for bringing use cases in metabarcoding as testbeds for circulation of codes between different infrastructures, including PlaFRIM.
