ERA CoBioTech – a new ERA Net Cofund on Biotechnology Dr. Petra E. Schulte/Dr. Christian Breuer Project Management Jülich (JUELICH) Division Bioecomony Department European Initiatives, International Affairs (BIO7) Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH
CoBioTech aims to provide biotechnology stakeholders with tailor- made support regarding information, communication, networking and research funding Joint funding activities Training for scientists and funders European BioTech Hub Strategy
Societal challenges in the 21st century • Increasing world population and changes in food utilisation patterns • Increase of food associated diseases • Climate change/protection, resource conservation/protection • Need for a sustainable energy production • Transfer from a fossil to a bio- based raw material supply
Knowledge-based Bioeconomy – Vision and Objectives Germany pursues the vision of a natural, cycle-oriented, sustainable biobased economy that carries the promise of global food supplies that are both ample and healthy, and of high quality products from renewable resources. meet our responsibilities for global nutrition, the protection of the climate, efficient use of resources and the environment
What is a Bioeconomy? Consumer Production • socio-economics • agri-tech • logistics • (mol.) biology, Systems • soil, plant, animal • construction • trade analysis Valorisation Sustainable? Conversion • food, feed • process tech • fiber, • biotechnology • fuel

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 Communication
