Service for the Interreg MED project – Building the blue biotechnology community in the Mediterranean

Commissioned by:  Croatian Agency for Small Business, Innovation and Investment 
Project duration: March 17, 2021 – May 31, 2021
Project manager: Zoran Aralica
Collaborator: Ivona Krezić

Summary: 
The report has the purpose of supporting the knowledge transfer and institutions‘ capability building attempts in the field of blue biotechnology (BBt) at the national level within the Mediterranean region. In the report, we describe knowledge transfer plans (KTPs) of the pilot projects (PPs) in the field of BBt. The basic idea of developing the KTPs for the pilot projects is to encourage activities on them. Our idea is that these initialized projects can become independent ones after the completion of the B-Blue project. There are five pilot projects, each of them covering the national BBt sector of the country it comes from. The countries included in this deliverable are Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Slovenia.

In the report, each action plan for knowledge transfer (KT) has an identical structure. The following elements are included: project idea, project objective, information about the project developers, information about stakeholders interested in PP activities, elements of the knowledge transfer plan, dissemination activities, and communication activities. But each pilot project is specific due to the fact that different project partners appear as the project developers. Also, the partners cover the national market of the country they come from. The PP belongs to various value chains defined within WP 3 and each of them includes stakeholders from the various sectors (e.g. academia, business, and government), previously defined in WP 3. In the case of the Greek pilot project (except for GSRI which is the main stakeholder of the Greek PP only), the same institutions are project developers as well as the main stakeholders.
