'Networks as Knowledge - Biotechnology Networks in the Atlantic Area' is an all-day mini-symposium organised by Marine Biotechnology Ireland and the Socio-Economic Marine Research Unit in NUI Galway, with the support of the European INTERREG project ShareBiotech.
The event will present the results of a recent survey on the needs and barriers to biotech R&D in Ireland and discuss our position in the wider Atlantic area.
Invited speakers from Ireland, France and the UK will describe their experiences in the creation, management and utilisation of shared skills and infrastructures in the life sciences sector.
The objectives are to learn how these situations can contribute to innovation, and what models are available for a network of knowledge in marine biotechnology R&D.
Warmly invited to attend are managers of public and private technological platforms and research centres, development agents, policy makers and representatives of national SMEs operating in the marine biote
