Welcome to Infrafrontier
Infrafrontier will organise two complementary and linked infrastructure networks for large-scale and comprehensive phenotyping and archiving of mouse models serving the European genetics and biomedical research community for the benefit of human health.
Central objective of the preparatory phase is to commit all relevant stakeholders to actively participate in the joint development of Infrafrontier. In addition to the participating scientific partners this involves in particular funding agencies and ministries of the European member states.
Infrafrontier integrates 15 European laboratories with exceptional track records to implement and run large-scale infrastructures. Infrafrontier builds on existing infrastructures under EMMA and EUMODIC and forms a coalition with a significant number of funding agencies to develop the prerequisites to a common European infrastructure.

The Infrafrontier preparatory phase aims to organise a stable and sustainable infrastructure by
- the identification of the most suitable legal form,
- developing a business plan based on a sustainable funding concept,
- reaching a legal agreement between all partners and
- providing a strategic plan for the construction phase.
Infrafrontier will therefore give Europe a leading position in the worldwide competition on resources and knowledge for medically relevant mouse models by providing a user-driven platform.
