It targeted especially the importance of impact and innovation in research projects, with a specific focus on the need to improve the support to research in Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITCs), following the most recent recommendations by the European Commission.

In this sense, PROTEOSTASIS was invited as an example of good practice regarding the promotion of research activities, collaborations and publications and projects between different EU countries and researchers at any stage of their career.  PROTEOSTASIS was especially recognized for the work carried out in ITC countries and the contribution of the Action for increasing the impact of research carried out in the field of ubiquitin and protein homeostasis.

Dr. Barrio delivered a detailed presentation on the achievements of the Action, the impact of the collaborations and the goals for the future, including exploitation and sustainability.   PROTEOSTASIS generated a great interest and very positive feedback.
