CRC members have ongoing national and international funded projects. The funding agencies are the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) though its National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and Research Projects of National Interest (PRIN) calls and the European Union with projects such as Horizon Europe. Many of the proposers are part of the ERGA (European Reference Genome Atlas) initiative, a pan-European scientific response to current threats to biodiversity, which aims to generate reference genomes representing European biodiversity. This initiative comes in response to the European Commission’s programme, Horizon Europe, which will fund projects of this kind in the near future.
