Partnership & consortium ​

+ ABOUT

The FOCUS-4R Consortium assembles strong complementary and interdisciplinary expertise.

In particular, partners from Advanced countries (CIC biomaGUNE, INSERM, Ocean TuniCell, NMS, C.RIS Pharma and Crown Bioscience) provide the full range of knowledge and expertise needed to train partners from Widening countries (CYROI, UMa, ULL and RunResearch) in cutting-edge biomedical skills—especially NAMs—as well as in transferable skills essential for strengthening cross-sector collaboration and improving talent employability in these regions.

It is worth noting that the partner from mainland Portugal (i3S), although classified as belonging to a Widening country, possesses advanced expertise in this field and can deliver valuable training to institutions in the ORs.

Their capabilities cover a broad spectrum of scientific skills, ranging from 3D cell culture to mechanobiology and bioimage acquisition and analysis, as well as well-established transversal skills units supporting career development and ethics.
