• maintain and strengthen Europe’s position in biotechnology.

The call is expected to open on 01 December 2016, a pre-announcement is already available here.

Consortia, consisting of at least three partners from three different countries, can submit their project proposals online until 02 March 2017 online at www.cobiotech.eu. The projects are supposed to start by the end of 2017 after a two-stage evaluation.
