PIGWEB Map of European research infrastructures working on pig experimentation for farm applications
Résumé
PIGWEB aims to build a long-lasting European Pig Research Community, and one of its main objectives has been the creation of a map of Research Infrastructures (RIs) in Europe. The interactive map (map.pigweb.eu) based on information collected using an online survey, developing a comprehensive vision of existing RIs, their location and characteristics (e.g. installations, facilities, expertise on). Currently, 51 infrastructures are available on the map, 14 are infrastructures of PIGWEB partners, and 37 from other research organizations. PIGWEB Map is a user-friendly tool, where users of RI can find institutions with necessary facilities and expertise that may not available in their organization. RIs can be found on the map through selecting the region of interest, to look for information through the filters (i.e., country, area of expertise, type of facilities, or partner institutions). Participation to be part of the map is voluntary and allows providers of RIs to be more visible, attract users and establish partnerships establishment and strengthen connections in the pig research community. To be part of the map, contact pigwebmap@irta.cat. PIGWEB received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101004770.
