Infrastructure Development Strategy

EMU with UCPH assistance will create a strategy for increasing its research excellence through changes in facilities and equipment. The plan will: • Assess the feasibility of EMU reaching a standard of excellence while continuing to use partner facilities in Estonia or abroad • Make a cost-benefit analysis to compare the anticipated scientific benefits to the purchase, operating and maintenance costs of new or upgraded infrastructure in the short, intermediate and long term. • Identify potential sources of funding that could support the upgrade of EMU facilities. This includes state, EU and international programmes as well as alternative financing scheme. The plan will be completed in Month 25. • Determine how EMU should proceed to ensure that it can reach research excellence, be capable of scaling up of embryo production and improve animal welfare.
