ISB leads the Nordic Network in Biological Informatics and the ScanBalt Campus Knowledge Network in Informational Biology, linking national graduate schools, 400 members, in Norway, Sweden and Finland: the National Doctoral Programme in Informational and Structural Biology (ISB, Finland), the National Center for Structural Biology (NorStruct, Norway), the Research School in Systems Biology (SysBio, Norway), and the National Research School in Genomics and Bioinformatics (GenBio, Sweden). ISB has funding from NordForsk and has had a grant from the EU Baltic Sea Region INTERREG IIIB program to pursue these developments, with a goal of expanding the network across Northern Europe to other national doctoral schools in our fields of interest.
