10. EMI INFSO-RI-261611 10 Supporting Multi-disciplinary Research Biomedicine (3): Integrating widely used tools for Bioinformatics, System Biology and Drug Discovery into the VENUS-C infrastructure. Civil Protection & Emergencies (1): Early fire risk detection, through an application that will run models on the VENUS-C infrastructure, based on multiple data sources. Civil Engineering (2): Support complex computing tasks on Building Information Management for green constructions and dynamic building structure analysis. Data for Science (1): Integrating computing through VENUS-C on data repositories. In particular focus will be on Marine Biodiversity through Aquamaps. [Ake Edlund.
