Final Conference of EU Project Eco4Life-South Baltic Network for Environmental and Life Sciences

Baltic Apheresis Working Group
As a direct results of the conference, a „Memorandum of Understanin“ on a Baltic Apheresis Working Group was signed between BioCon Valley, Scanbalt, Apheresis Center Rostock and network partners from Poland, Danmark and Lithuania.
Apheresis tecnologies are very safe and can be used to treat a wide spectrum of metabolic, immunologic and rheologic disturbances. The federal state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in North Germany is considered a leading region of apheresis treatment and research in Germany.
Nevertheless, there is an urgent need to consolidate register and clinical case data on apheresis treatment from different Baltic Sea Regions, and to develop within the Working Group new strategies how to properly design clinical trial protocols in particular disease entities.

about Eco4Life:
The project “Eco4Life-South Baltic Network for Environmental and Life Sciences to Boost Cross Border Cooperation” plans to network and bundle competencies in environmental and Life Sciences in the coastal regions of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the West Pomeranian Voivodeship and the Klaipeda County.
The overall idea of the project is to decrease existing differences within the South Baltic area with regard of access to knowledge, technologies and development in the field of knowledge based bio economy. The main focus is to integrate two further South Baltic regions (Klaipeda and Zachodniopomorskie) into the related international cooperation of business, science and administration. This shall be achieved through specialised support structures (Eco4Life contact points). The project enables the regions and their businesses to establish alliances, which would allow for competing in the field of knowledge based bio economy on the international level. The target groups of Eco4Life, therefore, are existing knowledge based businesses, potential innovative start-ups in bio/life sector, regional politicians and key administrative offices.
The project is co-funded by the South Baltic Programme of EU.
