About HALRIC

Hanseatic Life Science Research Infrastructure Consortium (HALRIC)

Looking to fast-track your research or product development? Then you might want to connect with HALRIC in the Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak (ÖKS)-Hamburg Region!

We aim to be a springboard for innovation capacity in the Life Science sector via increased access to and use of cross-border front-end technologies, instruments, expertise, and data handling solutions. This includes large-scale infrastructures, such as MAX IV, ESS, DESY and European XFEL, as well as cutting-edge complementary infrastructures at the Universities and Hospitals in the ÖKS-Hamburg Region.

Through pilot projects HALRIC is facilitating collaboration between academia, hospitals, SMEs as well as larger biotech and pharma companies and we call for more research project proposals for the use of one or more Research Infrastructures in the HALRIC consortium. HALRIC’s Hanseatic Science Cloud is also working on prototype models for handling the huge amounts of electronic data generated by the Research Infrastructures in collaborative projects.

The 21 partners in our EU-Interreg ÖKS supported project want to open the door to new techniques and methologies that help solve research questions, and we also work to strengthen the Life Science ecosystems and strategic dialogues between the four countries in the project (Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden).
