About Eurogentest
The support for the FP6 Network of Excellence EuroGentest officially ended on June 30 2010. The participants and the hundreds of geneticists who contributed to the success of the NoE will however continue to interact and a number of services are still provided to the community. The website will therefore remain active and will be updated regularly.
January 1, 2011 EuroGentest 2, a Coordination Action under FP7, has started allowing us to continue many of the important activities of the NoE.
General Information
EuroGentest2 is a Coordination Action funded by the 7th Framework of the European Commission. The project is organised in 3 Units looking at all aspects of genetic testing. The integration between Unit 1, 2 and 3 will be warranted by two transversal/cross-sectional work packages and one work package dedicated to managerial issues.
- Unit 1: " Laboratory Quality Management "
-> Meet the team
-> Summary
-> Documents - Unit 2: "Genetic testing as part of health care"
-> Meet the team
-> Summary
-> Documents - Unit 3: "Technology: Continuous improvement and implementation of new technologies in genetic testing "
-> Meet the team
-> Summary
-> Documents - Coordination and management of training activities, and dissemination
-> Meet the team
-> Summary - Coordination of policy activities
-> Summary - Project Management
-> Meet the team
Through a series of initiatives EuroGentest encourages the harmonization of standards and practice in all these areas throughout the EU and beyond.
