3rd Annual Forum for SMEs: Meeting Overview Dominic Clark, Industry Programme Manager, clark@ebi.ac.uk. http://www.ebi.ac.uk/industry

EMBL-EBI’s mission To provide freely available data and bioinformatics services to all facets of the scientific community in ways that promote scientific progress To contribute to the advancement of biology through basic investigator-driven research in bioinformatics To provide advanced bioinformatics training to scientists at all levels, from PhD students to independent investigators To help disseminate cutting-edge technologies to industry EBI shares its central four mission objectives with EMBL, although focussed on bioinformatics rather than molecular biology. The EBI is at the centre of Europe’s efforts to collect, organise and make all types biological data available and we do this by providing services so researchers can access and make sense of the information, by being active in bioinformatics research, by providing training and by working closely with industry. 15.11.2018

The EBI is the European centre for the collection and dissemination of biological data; we do this in collaboration with other global centres such as NCBI, the Institute of Genetics in Japan, the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and Cold Spring Harbor.

How do we SMEs, generically? All EMBL-EBI data resources and services are freely available to industry stakeholders in the same way as they are freely available to members of the academic research community. They can be searched, downloaded in their entirety etc. Furthermore, SMEs may attend all EMBL-EBI training courses on a similar cost basis as academic researchers. For details of the current list of courses, see: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/handson/ We organise workshops to which SMEs are invited: NextGen Sequencing (29th October 2009) 15.11.2018

How else do we support SMEs? For SMEs, we provide an annual information forum at various locations within Europe. This is customised to the particular interests of SMEs. 2007: Hinxton, Cambridge, UK. 2008: Berlin. 2009: Vienna! 15.11.2018

SME Information Workshop The workshop will provide the opportunity to introduce the tools and data resources that are available and the opportunities for SMEs to use and integrate these resources in order to derive benefit from the existing and developing infrastructure. The topics of the workshop have been specifically selected on the basis of previous interactions with SMEs and include chemogenomics, cheminformatics, proteomics, text mining, literature services and analysis, web services and patent services providing by EMBL-EBI and the European Patent Office, with whom we collaborate. 15.11.2018
