EU-LAC ResInfra Plus Study Visit at CECT

From November 11th to 15th, 2024, the Spanish Type Culture Collection (CECT) in Valencia will host a study visit organized under the EU-LAC ResInfra Plus project. This initiative aims to strengthen collaboration between researchers from the European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), fostering participation in the Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure (MIRRI-ERIC).

The study visit is designed for professionals responsible for managing microbial collections in the LAC region. Participants will gain insights into the operational management of a Microbial Resource Center, such as the CECT, and will explore how the center aligns with OECD Best Practice Guidelines and MIRRI-ERIC’s infrastructure requirements.

This visit will provide an opportunity for participants to enhance cooperation in microbial research, as they engage in practical learning experiences and discussions that support long-term international collaboration.
