Section 1 - Exploitable knowledge and its use

The objectives of the Specific Support Action were:

Objective 1: To network the field of Metabolomics and to seek alliances with relevant stakeholders
Objective 2: To link the field of Metabolomics to the genomics and proteomics initiatives.
Objective 3: To define a strategy for Metabolomics research, using Lipidomics as an example.
Objective 4: To initiate an Expertise Platform on Lipidomics
Objective 5: To hold both science-related as well as policy meetings
One product of the SSA is the participation of roughly one thousand scientists, clinicians and industrial stakeholders in the ELIfe workshops and meetings, and the resulting networking between them. A second product is the interactive Lipidomics Expertise Platform on the ELIfe website. A third product is formed by the papers published in the international literature. As such there are no exploitable results.
