Objective
Within the world-wide competition, European Biotechnology SME's are facing a challenge to gain a critical size on the market in terms of RTD project portfolio, capitalisation, and scientific and managerial excellence. Currently, national RTD programmes for biotechnology SME's and public research laboratories do exist in many EU member states. However, trans-national funding within the national/regional programmes is not common. In the European Community, trans-national public-private partnerships could achieve synergy effects, reduce risks and costs in R&D projects and thus gain benefits in competitiveness. The aim of the EUROTRANS-BIO project is to commit ministries and government agencies from Member States (Austria, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain/Basque) in the design and the implementation of a truly integrated trans-national RTD programme. Such an activity will develop best practices, establish cross-border partnerships between SME's and/or public research laboratories, strengthen European efforts to achieve sustainable development and disseminate best practices. The management of the project is led by a Network Steering Committee composed of high level programme and policy representatives. The consortium will make all its efforts for the incoming of new Member States that where not ready to join during the implementation of the proposal. After 48 months duration the EUROTRANS-BIO project, structured into five work packages (exchange of information, practices, strategic activities, implementation of joint activities and transnational call for projects), could lead to a truly integrated programme in the area of biotechnology.
