Abstract
IDPfun is an international consortium aiming to extend our knowledge on the functions of IDPs. Starting from available state of the art computational tools and databases, which have been mostly developed by IDPfun participants, it aims to drive a new level of IDP characterization and leverage the complementary expertise of 8 institutions (5 from the EU, 3 from Argentina). IDPfun creates a highly collaborative environment for research on novel ways to detect and characterize different IDP phenomena in their evolutionary context. It will develop an ontology and classification facilitating the comprehension of IDP complexity and the understanding of IDP functional mechanisms. IDPfun will foster particularly young researchers, through its open training schools and conferences. IDPfun will strengthen overseas collaborations, focusing and coordinating research, leading to the creation of a sustainable international IDP community, driving knowledge and infrastructure in bioinformatics.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 778247.
