Description:
The project was the Preparatory Phase for the pan-European Research Infrastructure EUROPEAN MARINE BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE CENTRE (EMBRC). It built on existing Marine Biological Institutes and Research Centres which will be complemented with innovative components and properly embedded into European scientific, ethical, legal and societal frameworks. The preparative phase of EMBRC will provide the proof of concept for a key resource to increase excellence and efficacy in Marine Biological Research and secure competitiveness of European research and industry in a global context. This distributed pan-European infrastructure will provide access to information, expertise, national marine stations and laboratories, for both research and training.
