WIDEnzymes aims to create a competitive, cross-border enzyme technology ecosystem that boosts European science, industry, education and leadership while reducing disparities in widening countries like Latvia, Slovakia and Greece.
Mission
- Establish a cohesive, strategic, and sustainable system to align and fully exploit high-priority EU’s Research and Innovation (R&I) and cohesion policy (e.g., ERDF) programmes, that maximises efforts and investments in widening countries.
- Strengthen widening countries’ competitiveness and talent retention by fostering a more robust, inclusive, integrated biotechnology ecosystem that can boost European leadership in the key enzyme technology market.
- Create a platform that ensures crucial cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer in synthetic biology that accelerats the translation of cutting-edge research findings into practical applications.
