The life sciences and biotechnology in Europe aim to serve the interests of European society, to enhance citizens’ quality of life, and to boost the competitiveness of industry through the construction of a dynamic knowledge-based bio-economy (KBBE). This website is your gateway to the Biosociety and Bio-economy.
FP7: Information on the Calls for proposals is available on CORDIS.

EU researchers make new stem cell discovery
Stems cells are remarkable because they have the potential develop into many different cell types. For example they may become a muscle cell, a red blood cell or even a brain cell. Stem cells are obtained from human or animal tissues and are capable of replicating in the laboratory. Sometimes they are kept in a nutrient solution with mouse embryonic fibroblasts, known as 'feeder cells'. However scientists now recognise the importance of using media completely free of animal products

Happy cows give better milk
'Give cows the freedom to roam', seems to be the message from researchers at Newcastle University in the UK. As part of EU supported research on animal health and welfare scientists found that the nutritional benefits of milk are considerably higher in the summer months, when cows are feeding on fresh grass and clover. The study confirms that there are higher concentrations of Omega-3 in organically produced milk and gives further encouragement in the drive to find cheaper ways of providing organic food.

Protecting Europe's biological data resources
Biologists are producing major benefits for society. But information on these benefits needs to be collated and made available to fellow scientists if these advances are to be fully exploited. Now the future of Europe's biological data resources has been secured following an award by the EU. The money will be used to develop the infrastructure for maintaining valuable research information. This will help Europe to retain its position as a world leader in developing new scientific knowledge.
