European Federation of Biotechnology 歐洲生物技術聯合會 EFB
歐洲生物技術聯盟是一家非營利協會,由歐洲所有致力于生物技術推廣的國家與跨國學術團體、大學、學院、企業和個人組成。
歐洲生物技術聯盟( E FB)由歐洲科學家于1978年創辦,目的是為了促進歐洲工業界和學術界的生物技術專家之間的合作,并采用一種社會上和道德上都可接受的方式來推廣生物技術;通過支持健康的科學以及工程和技術的應用,促進生命科學領域自然資源的安全、可持續的有益利用;促進人們及其觀點的交流,為專家學者和研究生組織課題,并促進歐洲的技術創新,以達到推動生物技術進步的共同目標。
E FB目前正啟動一些進行機遇評估與開發的活動,以促進歐盟和一些主要的國家和地區(如中國、東南亞和南美)在生物技術方面達成合作和建立戰略合作伙伴關系。
現在在歐洲,參與 E FB活動的科學家和學者已經超過了1000多人。此外,EFB還設立了很多的工作組,研究和提供有關生物技術使用和應用方面以及相關的道德和安全方面的公共認識和高質量信息。
Established by European scientists in 1978, the European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB) is Europe’s non-profit federation of National Biotechnology Associations, Learned Societies, Universities, Scientific Institutes, Biotech Companies and individual biotechnologists working to promote biotechnology throughout Europe and beyond.
The mission of EFB is to promote the safe, sustainable and beneficial use of the life sciences, to promote research and innovation at the cutting edge of biotechnology, to provide a forum for interdisciplinary and international cooperation, to improve scientific education and to facilitate an informed dialogue between scientists and the public.
With 108 Institutional members from across Europe and 13.500 personal members, the EFB has 14 Regional Branch Offices in Europe to support its activities in the various areas of biotechnology covered by the Federation.
The EFB Central Office (ECO) is located in Barcelona, Spain. Membership administration, organization of Executive Board meetings and General Assemblies, website management and organization of the European Congresses on Biotechnology are some of the main responsibilities of ECO.
