In the context of a global economic downturn, we are now facing complex and difficult challenges such as the sustainable supply of food and energy, climate change and environmental degradation, human health and aging populations. Marine Biotechnology can make an increasingly important contribution towards meeting these societal challenges and in supporting economic recovery and growth in Europe by delivering new knowledge, products and services.
