EBB

The project EBB – European Marine Biological Resource Centre Biobank will set the basis for the common operation of the distributed marine biobanking facilities of the European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC) by: 

• Setting up technological tools and common procedures for the ex-situ maintenance of MBRs along the whole phylogenetic tree of life; and: 
• the application of best practice guidelines throughout the EBB collections to ensure compliance with regulatory framework that sets the rules on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) on the use of marine bioresources for commercial and academic research. 
• the development of innovation use cases involving industrial end users and administrations at the national and European level with competence in regulating ABS for the production of a set of best practice guidelines for ABS compliance when using MBRs for innovation purposes.

• Workshop: Practical steps for facilitating the use of marine biological resources for commercial R&D in the context of new Access & Benefit Sharing legal framework
