Activities within the framework of the EuroTransBio trans-European project
The Foundation for Assistance to the Development of Small Forms of Enterprises in the Scientific and Technical Sphere announces the start of a transnational competition within the framework of the Eurotransbio ERANET project.
Eurotransbio is a long-term initiative launched within the framework of the 6th EU Framework Program (RP). The Eurotransbio project is designed to finance projects in the field of biotechnology (in all areas accepted by EU standards – red, blue, white, green) with an exclusive focus on supporting small businesses and stimulating them for trans-European cooperation.
The project operates on the principle of all ERANET initiatives within the framework of the EU 7RP - that is, EU funds are allocated for the coordination and administrative expenses of project participants – financing organizations and various regional and federal agencies that support certain thematic areas of R&D.

- "red" biotechnologies (biotechnologies in medicine and healthcare);
- "white" biotechnologies (biotechnologies for industry) ;
- "green" biotechnologies (biotechnologies in agriculture);
- "blue biotechnologies" (biotechnologies in the field of marine research);
- biotechnologies for environmental protection.
This competition is the ninth in a row for the project and the second – with the participation of Russia and the Foundation for the Promotion of Small Forms of Enterprises in the Scientific and Technical Field as a financing organization (information about the first is here).
