For the second consecutive year, Biocat is coordinating Catalan participation in the Interbio European cooperation project —which includes the regions of Bordeaux, Lisbon, Toulouse, Valencia and Catalonia— and is offering more than 50 travel grants to participate in training sessions, events and exchanges among technology platforms and joint research projects.
Since the project was launched at the end of 2009, and according to Biocat Project Director, Nerea Alonso, "a number of synergies have been created that are highly favorable for the scientific community in each region. Interbio has become a way to exchange expertise and a meeting point for the five member regions."
Upcoming events organized under the framework of the Interbio program in 2011 include:
• Frontiers in Protein Research Symposium (Lisbon, 5 to 7 May 2011)
6 Biocat grants available (Deadline: 18 April 2011 - Closed)
