| Description | A number of Structural Bioinformatics teams from India are now collaborating with PDBe and providing their data to PDBe-KB resources. Follow on workshops and exchange visits will continue in the years 2020 and 2021. The Indian partners have also proceeded with establishing PDB India, efforts supported by PDBe and its wwPDB partners. |
| Exploitation Route | The partnering award between PDBe and Indian Structural Bioinformatics teams will explore potential infrastructure solutions that will (1) benefit users of PDBe services through offering richer data, and (2) give greater exposure to collaborators who would be sharing their unique data through this infrastructure. |

| Results and Impact | The first in a series of annual workshops, where the progress of the PDBe-KB resource was reported, including the developments of the FunPDBe project. Two participants from India (NII, New Delhi and IISER Pune, Pune) attended the workshop and plans were made on their participation in the PDBe-KB/FunPDBe activities. Since then, one of the Indian teams have contributed their data to the resource. In addition, prior and new partners from the UK (UCL, Univ Kent, ICR, Univ Dundee), Italy (Univ Rome) and Belgium (VIB/VUB) have contributed their data, while some attendees from the UK, Czech Rep and Spain committed to providing data at a later stage. |
