THE PROJECT.
The project aimed to build at the European level a system to enable entrepreneurs or those involved in technology transfer, to achieve, under the best conditions of speed and economic efficiency, the industrial “Proof of Concept” (I-PoC) that allows the true economic exploitation of research results (“Scientific Proof of Concept” or S-PoC). The development of early stages (early stage), in fact, is considered globally to be the weakest link in the innovation chain.
The 30-month BIO-CT project was co-funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Research Framework Program.
Deliverables:
- WP5 (Sharing Facilities) – Deliverable 5.1: From preclinical to phase 1: the bio cluster’s needs for bio facilities – Experience of some European Clusters
- WP5 (Sharing Facilities) – Deliverable 5.2: Bridging the gap from preclinical to phase 1: general guidelines for biocluster’s development – Report on clusters needs and selection of possible shared facilities
- WP5 (Sharing Facilities) – Deliverable 5.3: Bio-CT Sharing Facility System JAP
- Final Publishable Summary Report, the final document of the BIO-CT project, produced through the collective effort of all partners.
BIO-CT SEMINAR
On February 19, 2010, the seminar “Sharing research facilities across Europe: a new model for competitiveness in biotech R&D – The BioCT approach International workshop” was held in Turin at the Molecular Biotechnolgy Center.
The following slides were shown during the workshop:
- The Ceip Project – center for preclinical imaging;
- Lyon Biopole – a shared facility to fight against Infectious Diseases;
- Activities of EIB/Jaspers in the support of the creation of large R&D infrastructures in Europe;
- Sharing facilities in Sweden;
- Israel’s capacity for science and research will be tested in the Negev;
- What we are- What we are not- What we are expected to do;
- Institute of biomedical Imaging (I2BM);
- Sharing Technology Platforms and Facilities;
- Sharing Technology Platforms and Facilities The French experience;
- Sharing facilities at the Barcelona Science Park;
- Biotechnology Common Tools – for Biotechnology in Berlin-Brandenburg;
- Bioindustry Park of Canavese LIMA Lab. between a shared facility and an open access platform;
- Medicen Paris Region – BioCluster for Innovative therapies and advanced technologie in healthcare.
