BIO CIRCLE is a project funded by the European Commission. It aims at increasing the participation of researchers from outside Europe in research projects under the Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Biotechnology theme (FAFB) of the EU Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) and extend the network to include National Information Points (NIP) for major Third Country partners in two years.
BIO CIRCLE organises trainings on FP7 for researchers outside Europe (in Third Countries); helps Third Countries identify national research topics that are also of interest to the European Union; helps agro-food researchers to network and find new partners!
