The Spanish Bank of Algae of the Canary Islands will host the MARINNONET PROJECT IRS FORUM on Friday, June 12, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.
What is MARINNONET?
MARINNONET is a European project co-funded under the first call of the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme 2021–2027. Its main objective is to develop a new transnational Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) cooperation network to strengthen the innovation capacity of the Atlantic Area Blue Biotechnology sector. The project aims to establish the foundations for widely participatory open innovation practices and market-driven R&D&I activities.
What can you expect from this event?
As the MARINNONET project approaches its final stage, this workshop aims to explore practical strategies for strengthening knowledge transfer between research and industry in marine biotechnology, with a particular focus on the regional contexts of the Canary Islands and Northern Portugal. The programme will highlight interregional collaboration dynamics, support mechanisms for the blue biotechnology ecosystem, academic experiences, and the pilot actions developed within the framework of the MARINNONET project.
In addition, this forum is part of the programme of activities taking place during the EMBRC-ERIC Scientific Days 2026, hosted by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) from 8 to 12 June.
Why participate?
This forum provides an excellent opportunity to discuss the challenges currently facing the sector and to exchange ideas with professionals and stakeholders who share similar interests. It will also offer valuable networking opportunities and the possibility of identifying potential partners for future collaborative projects.
