ERA-NET
CSA MarineBiotech Workshops
Workshop I: 'Mobilisation and Engagement of Funding Agencies and Stakeholders'
26-27 April 2012
MarineBiotech concentrated its efforts on the mobilisation and engagement of funding agencies and stakeholders. Two key interest groups were established to achieve this goal, a Strategic Forum of funding agencies and a Stakeholder Group, which provided strategic advice to the project consortium and contributed to a high-quality proposal for a future ERA-NET in marine biotechnology. Towards this objective, the first workshop on mobilization and engagement of funding agencies and stakeholders with interest in marine biotechnology was organised.
MarineBiotech partners and external speakers presented their views on marine biotechnology and round table discussions were scheduled. The workshop was closed with a visit to the Centre of Marine Science (CCMAR) in the University of Algarve.
