Originally funded in 2009, the European Virus Archive goes Global (EVAg) is a non-profit infrastructure dedicated to the conservation, production and distribution of viruses and derived products, as well as services ensuring:
that materials are supplied non-profitably or at cost to all bona fide applicants,
that the biosecurity of virus producers, users and the general public is paramount,
that the available materials meet the highest scientific standards in terms of quality and characterization.
EVAg is an infrastructure project financed by the European Commission, working as a consortium of 26 laboratories (16 European, and 10 non-European) and 20 associated partners.
We already have a large panel of viruses and derived products available on our web based catalogue (EVAg Portal).
