ERASAGE: European Research Area on Societal Aspects of Genomics

Secretariat : NGI
Apply : No, the subsidy is closed for applications

Objective
ERASAGE is a partnership of 11 partners from 7 European countries, Israel and Canada. ERASAGE focuses on research into the societal implications of genomics (the ´ELSA research ´). This research is in its infancy: at the majority of partners the project is still small and covers a very diverse range of subjects. ERASAGE was started in May 2005 and runs to May 2010. The aim of ERASAGE is the development of a sustainable partnership between partners to realise synergy and convergence and to increase the quality and quantity of ELSA research. ERASAGE primarily focuses on the exchange of information and personnel and the development of quality standards. Parallel to this a so-called strategic research agenda is being developed. Transnational activities such as pilot programmes and joint or common calls will be developed at a later stage. The Netherlands Genomics Initiative (NGI) is the coordinator of this network; the day-to-day project management has been outsourced to the Centre for Society and Genomics (CSG).
