Bioethical practices
http://www.europabio.org/ethics_and_dialogue.htm
|
|
The project aims at improving understanding of bioethical
issues by using the daily practices of biotechnology
companies, to elaborate clear and independent positions based
on regularly updated scientific and technological data. It
will also contribute to include industry into the dialogue
with the largest audiences

Consumer Choice |
The prime strategic objectives of this project are to:
- determine the real attitudes of European consumers towards
GM foods by observing their actual purchases when given the
opportunity
- note GM products offered for sale and how customers are
informed by labelling, price, supplementary information,
position and prominence on the shelves
-supplement the findings by a specific poll and focus groups
provide reliable evidence of genuine consumer GM
food choices to food chain stakeholders to help their future
planning. |

Index Biotech Cie (InDeCS-H)
http://www.14allbio.eu/
|
|
This project will develop a 'Development Capacity Index' (DCI)
for biotech companies in the new Member States, highlighting
the growth potential of healthcare biotech. The project
delivers a publicly accessible database of information,
enabling companies to be profiled among important stakeholders
including VCs, equity investors, media, analysts and makes it
easier for Biotech to Biotech and Pharma to Biotech
partnerships.

The objective of LifeCompetence is to implement
state-of-the-art competence management tools and processes,
that master these challenges and make the competences in
ongoing and future projects in the LSH priority accessible
towards the key target groups. The purpose is to leverage the
research investments made by the EC by enhancing the research
collaboration process between academia and industry, in
particular SMEs.

This project aims to increase the number of SMEs, particularly
high growth technology companies, to invest more in R&D
through participating in FP7. The project also aims to
overcome existing barriers to collaborations between academic
research and corporate groups and SMEs, and improve the
effectiveness of knowledge transfer and financing of further
development, through specialized assistance and training to
make these collaborations materialize

The overall aim of this Co-ordination Action is both, firstly,
to anticipate the societal and ethical issues likely to arise
as nanobiotechnologies develop and, secondly, to use the
lessons from the European GM debate to respond pro-actively
and responsibly to the probable public, media and political
concerns. |

Establishing a European Plant Genomics and Biotechnology
Platform, PGBTP, involving key stakeholders from academia,
industry, the EU, Member States and citizens' representatives
will play a key role in addressing societal concerns about
plant biotechnology. It aims to develop policy options on
plants for healthy lifestyles and for sustainable
development to drive the European plant science R&D sector
towards achieving the Lisbon Summit objective, for Europe to
be "the most competitive knowledge based economy in the world
by 2010". |

This SSA is to establish an European Technology Platform for
white (industrial) biotech, involving the key stakeholders
from academia, industry, the Commission and the European
Parliament, Member States and citizens' representatives. This
will be essential to unleash this exploitation potential,
while removing barriers, setting out coherent policies and
creating broad public awareness of the potential benefits to
society at large. This project will contribute to strengthen
the European Research Area and to achieve the Lisbon
objectives by countering the current fragmention, by agreeing
on a coherent Strategic Research Agenda and by delivering an
Action Plan to implement the recommendations of the Vision
Paper. |
