| Integration of new CM approaches into the CSAT | Task 3.2 | NHM |
Questions will be added to the CSAT to enable institutions to assess the management of their virtual and new physical collections. SYNTHESYS3 will support institutions that are shown not to be managing these new collections suitably, so that they can improve and increase their accessibility. |

| Collections Self Assessment provision | Task 3.1 | NHM |
Operation and promotion of CSAT (developed in SYNTHESYS2). Results fed back to institutions so that they can prioritise and implement changes to improve collections accessibility. Results will be used to identify key problem areas in CM and information passed on to the CPB for action via EU-CoM. |

| Establish network of DNA and tissue banks | Task 2.2.4 | NBC |
|
Work with Biological Resource Centres and ESBB to establish a network of DNA and tissue banks in Europe. Advice will be sought from seed and germplasm banks who have already overcome some of the potential issues for their specific group of organisms. The aims of this network will be to: 2) Coordinate the use of protocols to improve the storage of and access to collections (with Task 1.1) 3) Extend the international participation in the DNA Bank Network 4) Enhance the information system to better cover the links between specimens, tissue collections, and DNA/RNA collections. 5) Integrate RNA collections into the access system 6) Investigate integration of the network with ESBB to strengthen the biodiversity biobank community, and join efforts to integrate with the BBMRI and the GBRCN project. 7) Investigate the inclusion of samples stored using new techniques 8) Adapt existing business plan for the technical maintenance of the network (if necessary), establish fee-basedlong term maintenance. |

| Develop protocols for data collection from DNA extraction | Task 2.2.3 | NBC |
|
Develop protocols for collecting data from sequencing activities on NH collections and feedback on the success of different methodologies. Working alongside the CPB, NA2 aims to produce a Memorandum of Understanding for a European protocol. |
