Partner projects

1+MG Partner projects are committed supporting the implementation of 1+MG Roadmap by delivering specific components during a specific timeframe. These components will come together to build the 1+MG infrastructure that will facilitate the transnational access to 1+MG genomes by the 2022.

1+MG Partner Projects will be entitled to display the 1+MG logo on their websites. There is also the expectation that they will be actively involved in project discussion and meetings, according to their actual contribution to the 1+MG Roadmap.
