EuropaBio marketing to support third party events

Guiding Principles

Our senior staff in conjunction with EuropaBio’s board and members decide which biotech industry events to support. We will only support those events which further our mission –to promote an innovative and dynamic biotechnology-based industry in Europe.

Our preference is to use EuropaBio’s marketing efforts to support biotech events as part of an integrated marketing package. Only in exceptional circumstances would we engage in sending marketing emails or promoting events on our homepage that we are not supporting in other ways.

EuropaBio’s 2008 General Assembly will take place on June 26th at the Palais D’Egmont, a beautiful mansion dating from the 16^th century  which belongs to the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.   The General Assembly brings together all EuropaBio member companies – large and small biotechnology and life science companies as well as 25 national associations that represent 1800 small and mid sized biotech companies.

 We would be pleased to discuss with you how our event could help profile your company or organisation and we are seeking partnership for the industry networking opportunities and annual event.

Specialized workshops & seminars

EuropaBio organizes a number of specialized workshops with the EU institutions and its members. These seminars and workshops are related to study launches, EU project promotion, and exploratory policy development.

Examples of specialized workshops include:

• EU Project Seminars
• Bioethics Study launch seminar
• BioPreparedness workshops
• Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) workshop

Member Networking Dinners (November, March, June)

EuropaBio hosts 3 member networking dinners a year, to coincide with the sector council meetings.  These dinners serve to strengthen the association’s identity and allow the members of each of the sector councils to speak among and between sectors, expanding business networks. 

EuroBioJobs

EuroBioJobs.org is a partnership between EuropaBio and our National Biotech Associations to help disseminate job vacancies throughout Europe or for those looking for a job, carry out a Europe-wide search.

From laboratory specialist to experienced CEO or board member, from consultant to finance manager, this job marketplace offers individuals and companies active in Life Sciences the opportunity to offer and find positions, mandates, collaborations and any other form of working relationship. This platform can be used by individuals at all levels to find new positions, from those seeking an apprenticeship or PhD position to those interested in a CEO or board position or a consulting mandate.

Life Competence Database

The Life Competence database is an online network and knowledge sharing contact system filled with EU research projects in healthcare biotechnology that have been funded by the EU Commission under FP6. It enables companies, universities, NGOs to find out what research is going on in their area and who are the partners, people and organisations (companies and universities) working in this field. It also enables companies and academia to keep track of the EU projects your organization is involved in or on what your competitors are doing.  http://europabio.euproject.eu/

The development cost of this project has been funded by the EU Commission for the last two years. Along with EuropaBio’s partners, Avedas and the Karolinska Institutet we are looking to continue the project and make it self financing.
