Eurogentest is a Network of Excellence, funded by the European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Development.

Its objective is to improve the quality of genetic testing in Europe.

Through a series of initiatives EuroGentest encourages the harmonization of standards and practice in all these areas throughout the EU and beyond.

It is a five year project, starting January 2005 and ending December 2009, lead by world famous geneticist Jean-Jacques Cassiman.
