The European Community definitely encourages European research groups interested in EC funding to collaborate with small or medium sized enterprises (SME), in order to considerably increase chances for approval.

BIOLOG LSI is permanently looking for interesting areas and themes to bring our signal transduction reagents into practice, and we are interested to develop new tools for special tasks, including medical, cosmetic and diagnostic applications. In addition, our organic synthesis laboratory is eager to take new challenges.
Established in 1989 we have considerable experience in launching successfully new structures for the reagent market, and could thus provide the necessary commercial exploitation factor to your EC application.
Meanwhile we have already participated in four different projects (MAST III, CRAFT, RTD) and have sufficient experience in corresponding paperwork, etc..

So, if you consider to start or join a new EC project and still need a suitable, science-orientated SME that smoothly fits into the frame, please let us know.
