Pooling European research capacities and know-how in the field of systems biology is one of the core aims within SysMO. To support the transnational work of the SysMO consortia and to make it more efficiently, common structures are being established that go beyond the scientific work itself. These structures aim at the direct and continuous exchange of the scientific data and models and the joint usage beyond the borders of projects and nations. For this reason, the scientists involved in SysMO are jointly developing a joint data management strategy.
