European Marine Biological Research Infrastructure Cluster to promote the Blue Bioeconomy (EMBRIC)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2019,

Marine (blue) biotechnology is the key to unlocking the huge economic potential of the unique biodiversity of marine organisms. This potential remains largely underexploited due to lack of connectivity between research services, practical and cultural difficulties in connecting science with industry, and high fragmentation of regional research, development and innovation (RDI) policies. To overcom ...
