NEWS
Achievements of SMEs go LifeSciences 2 years after its kick-off.
The second project year of SMEs go LifeSciences was dedicated to
providing best service for SMEs and researchers interested in one
of the remaining Life Sciences related calls of the 6th Framework
Programme (FP6). The project consortium focussed primarily on the
4th call for proposals in thematic priority 1 "Life Sciences,
Genomics and Biotechnology for Health" but as well on Life
Sciences related topics, such as thematic priority 2 "Information
Technologies" and thematic priority 3 "Industrial Technologies".
Information and preparation of Life Sciences SMEs and researchers
for the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) will be important parts of
the work during the third and last project year of SMEs go LifeSciences.
