At this conference an international satellite event was held in conjunction with Canada . The simulcast announced the newly funded European Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis Programme - EUCOMM. This project is coordinated by Prof. Dr Wolfgang Wurst and Prof. Allan Bradley and is funded for €13million. This project is contributing to the North American counterpart - NorCOMM - coordinated by Geoff Hicks and funded for $20 million including $6.3M from Europe .
Members of the press were invited to the first day of the EuroMouse conference and there was representation of several papers from 8 countries - they saw Dr. Octavi Quintana Trias and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Wurst unveil the global effort in mouse mutagenesis - these mice will be available to a much wider community of researchers than has ever been possible before.
