We are 30 scientists from eight leading research institutions in Austria, with one joint vision: to unlock the microbiome's potentials for planetary health. We will use our multi-disciplinary background in environmental (green), medical (red), and methodological (blue) microbiome research, to move beyond the traditional boundaries and to identify unifying principles of how microbiomes are structured and how they function in complex environments.
