Aim of the call
The forthcoming second transnational joint call for research projects within the framework of ERA-MarineBiotech aims to stimulate joint European research and development activities in marine biotechnology. Multilateral research projects under the topic “Bioactive molecules from the marine environment – Biodiscovery” should be related to valorization of bioactive molecules from the marine environment.
Funding will be granted for a maximum of three years according to national regulations. Joint projects must have a minimum of three and maximum of eight participants from a minimum of three different ERA-MBT partner countries/regions. The participation of an industrial partner in the consortium is recommended but not mandatory.
