About NEXUS
A European network to unify nematode research through collaboration and technology transfer.
NEXUS — Nematode Excellence in Cross-Disciplinary Unified Solutions — connects researchers studying model, parasitic and free-living nematodes with technology experts, research infrastructures and industry partners.
The Action addresses fragmentation across nematode communities and supports the adoption of emerging technologies in laboratories across Europe, with a strong focus on training, networking and shared resources.
Objectives
Research coordination and capacity building are the core of the Action.
Research coordination
Facilitate collaboration among nematode research communities, strengthen academic-industry partnerships and centralise shared information.
Capacity building
Support training, short-term scientific missions, workshops and visibility for early-stage researchers and young innovators.
Communication
Disseminate activities, outputs and technological advances to researchers, stakeholders and the public.
Long-term community value
Build a platform that remains useful beyond the formal COST Action by making expertise easier to discover.
