ERA-NET
Third transnational call for research projects
Aim of the call
The forthcoming third 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 “Metagenomic approaches for valorization from the marine environment” 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.
