“…The streamlining benefits also hold for the engineering of consortia of interacting microorganisms, which allows to explore the wealth of microbial diversity. Furthermore, the individual processes have to be tackled by taking into account the whole value chain if they are to result in economically feasible innovations which can truly contribute to a shift from a petrochemical to a biobased economy (Kampers et al, 2022) 4 .…”

In this white paper, we describe the founding of a new ELIXIR Community - the Systems Biology Community - and its proposed future contributions to both ELIXIR and the broader community of systems biologists in Europe and worldwide. The Community believes that the infrastructure aspects of systems biology - databases, (modelling) tools and standards development, as well as training and access to cloud infrastructure - are not only appropriate components of the ELIXIR infrastructure, but will prove key components of ELIXIR’s future support of advanced biological applications and personalised medicine. By way of a series of meetings, the Community identified seven key areas for its future activities, reflecting both future needs and previous and current activities within ELIXIR Platforms and Communities. These are: overcoming barriers to the wider uptake of systems biology; linking new and existing data to systems biology models; interoperability of systems biology resources; further development and embedding of systems medicine; provisioning of modelling as a service; building and coordinating capacity building and training resources; and supporting industrial embedding of systems biology. A set of objectives for the Community has been identified under four main headline areas: Standardisation and Interoperability, Technology, Capacity Building and Training, and Industrial Embedding. These are grouped into short-term (3-year), mid-term (6-year) and long-term (10-year) objectives.

“…In order to stimulate cutting edge work that leads to useful commercial products, services or patents, there is need to identify gaps and prospects, while giving attention to local and national problems (Kampers et al, 2022). The current research gaps in developing countries are so numerous and there is urgent need to focus on areas that is driving development like biotechnology and software development.…”

The development of countries is now mostly dependent on their research and how fast they can convert the results into tangible products and services. Employment of research for industrial development is not being encouraged in developing countries. Developing countries must engage more in research that will contribute positively to their economy. Encouraging collaboration and entrepreneurship within and across different disciplines will serve as impetus to create alternative local products as well as chart a course for a competitive future. The transfer of innovative research and technology from our universities and research centers into the economy can be driven by university lecturers and researchers from institutes.

Furthermore, the individual processes have to be tackled by taking into account the whole value chain if they are to result in economically feasible innovations which can truly contribute to a shift from a petrochemical to a biobased economy ( Kampers et al , 2022 ). The principles, methods and (data and model) resources underpinning systems biology are crucial to reach these objectives .…”
