THE PROJECT.

The 30-month BioProtech project, launched in 2010, is co-funded by the European Commission under the “Seventh Capacities Framework Program – INCO.”

It aims to support the growth and development of the CBS-Tunisian Research Center specializing in biotechnology-through contact with European centers of excellence in both R&D and the technology transfer process, particularly for the benefit of the existing or near future local business fabric. Training, shadowing and coaching courses are planned, with the aim of integrating CBS and its expertise into the European and international network.
