WIDEnzymes

Widening Synergies for
Novel Enzymes Development

Duration: 2024-2027

Budget: €1.2M (Horizon Widera 2023 Access 04)

Partners: 5 partners

Coordinator: Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis

TEAMIT participates in WIDEnzymes, which 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.

To achieve the project’s vision, WIDEnzymes is:

- Establishing 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.

- Strengthening 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.

- Creating a platform that ensures crucial cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer in synthetic biology that accelerats the translation of cutting-edge research findings into practical applications.
