EMBnet is a project to develop the infrastructure for access
to biotechnology information services for the research com-
munity in Europe. The project includes the formation of a
network for access to, and exchange and analysis of, data of
importance to molecular biology and biotechnology.
The network is based on nationally-appointed centres in
European countries, appropriately staffed and equipped to
provide a biocomputing service and to develop network-based
services within their country. Additional nodes are involved
as hosts of databases or specialised facilities. Current
nodes and their contact representatives are listed below.
Initial network activities have centred around daily distri-
bution of nucleotide sequence data from the EMBL Data
Library using Internet, and sometimes DECnet over X.25.
National EMBnet nodes therefore maintain remote copies of
the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database for on-line access of
further re-distribution within their country.
One main goal is to develop bioinformatics and its practice
in general. Approaches and solutions are discussed among
the project members via mailing lists, newsgroups and at
annual workshops.

Other activities and projects include promotion of computer
conferencing, remote access to specialised facilities (eg
sequence similarity searching on massively parallel comput-
ers), a training programme in bioinformatics, evaluation and
implementation of Gopher servers, remote sequence database
updating mechanisms.

In most cases the services provided by national nodes of
EMBnet are intended for their national research community.
In some cases there is a charging system, especially for
commercial users. Other entries in the Internet Resource
Guide (eg EMBL Data Library) will give more specific
details, or contact the resource directly.

EMBnet received financial support from the EC BRIDGE pro-
gramme, 1991-94. Major financial support is received by
most of the national nodes to establish and run their ser-
vices.
