STRonGer kick-off-meeting (13-14 December 2011, Institut Pasteur in French Guiana)

The STRonGer programme for "Strengthening transdisciplinary research on Infection us and Emerging Diseases in French Guiana: linking fieldwork, benchside and bedside" is a scientific programme whose objective is to significantly reinforce, in the short term, the existing medical research capacities in French Guiana - both in terms of human resources and infrastructure - to better meet the infectious health risks for the Guianese population.


STRonGer is the first Research Potential project of the 7th Framework Programme for research and development (FP7-REGPOT-2011-1) obtained by a Guianese Coordinator. Of the 291 submitted projects in 2010, STRonGer has been ranked 9. STRonGer is coordinated by the Institut Pasteur de la Guyane for a period of 42 months. The financial contribution of the European Commission to the program is 3.7 million of euros.


The kick-off-meeting was held on 13 and 14 December 2011 at the Institut Pasteur in French Guiana bringing together all partners in Europe and French Guyana.
