Our objectives

Use synergies between current mechanisms of biotechnology research
funding in Europe
   to highlight the benefits of a bio-based economy for society, and thus
   to maintain and strengthen Europe’s global lead in modern
   biotechnology.

Bundling three predecessor ERA-Nets in the area of biotechnology
  significantly increases public funding (call volume ~ 36 Mio €),
  intensifies collaboration across relevant sectors and countries, thus
       advancing RD&I in industrial biotechnology
       establishing systems and synthetic biology as technology
       drivers in applied biotechnology, and
       enhancing the potential for exploitation through active industry
       involvement.

Additional joint funding activities (without EC co-funding)

Advance RD&I in industrial biotechnology in line with the Strategic
Agenda and the outcomes of the "European Biotechnology Hub."

Depending on the availability of funds, one funding activity per year (up
to four funding activities after the co-funded call)

       calls for research projects
       scientific knowledge hubs
       mobility awards
       prizes
       measures for capacity building etc..
European Biotechnology Hub - Objectives

Integrate actors from all parts of biotechnology value chains and
from all relevant scientific areas and industry sectors

   policy actors,
   strategic European Instruments & Initiatives
   scientific and industrial actors

    Provide one central umbrella to
    biotechnology-relevant activities
         for Europe and beyond

                                    (e.g. EC, ERA-Nets, JTIs, PPP, KICs,
                                                PLATFORM)
Biotech Hub Meetings

What happens?
  Presenting and discussing of strategic issues, challenges, activities
  Exchange of experiences regarding different and common actions
  of ERA-Nets and other strategic European instruments and
  initiatives in related areas

Outcome
  Exchange of knowledge, „best practice“, experiences regarding
  regional, national and European actions and strategies
  Networks and collaborations are enlarged or strengthened
  Topics for future ERA-Nets (or additional calls) or ideas for other
  forms of ollaboration between policy makers and funding bodies
  Recommendations to the EC
Biotech Hub Workshops
Who?
  scientific and industrial actors

What happens?
  Training
  Ideas, demands, concepts are discussed/developed
  Networks are made or strengthened

Outcome
  Better understanding of other stakeholders‘ demands and ways of
  working
  Newly developed consortia and project ideas
  New knowledge and skills, e.g. regarding European collaboration
Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA)

maximise the long term benefit of bringing together 3 previously
separate ERA-Nets to achieve the goals of:
   speeding up research and innovation in industrial
   biotechnology
   establishing systems biology and synthetic biology as
   technology drivers while focusing on downstream industrial
   applications

Shared vision, identifying areas
    where synthetic biology,
systems biology, and industrial
biotechnology can be aligned to
     have the most impact
Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA)

   Strategic Connections (Identification and mapping of existing relevant
   national, EU, international initiatives and infrastructure).
   Strategic workshops

-> The strategic agenda will describe:

   areas of strategic importance between the three previous ERA-Nets,
   where there is added value in advancing those areas through
   transnational activities
   the extent of coordination at that time which will serve as a baseline
   indicator against which increases in coordination and cooperation
   can be measured
   a mutually agreed (and realistic) understanding of what CoBioTech
   can achieve
Negative public perception

Risk of negative public perception (combined with a lack of knowledge,
e.g. „gene technology“ / „green biotechnology“)
Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA)

Expectations and a best practice RRI framework

  develop bespoke expectations and best practice RRI framework
  integrate the uptake of these guidelines into funding assessment
  require funded projects to report against the expectations set out in
  the RRI best practice framework

Training of scientists
