Objectives and legal background of the model agreementMicro B3 Model Agreement on Access to Marine Microorganisms and Benefit Sharing • February 11th, 2015
Contract Type FiledFebruary 11th, 2015The Micro B3 Project, together with the Ocean Sampling Day Initiative, aims at studying marine microorganisms in different seas (their genetic diversity, their functions, and their ecosystems), producing genomics sequencing to be shared in an open source and open access database, and fostering commercial product devel- opment. More specifically, Micro B3 offers improved tools to achieve facilitated access to the research results, including genomic and environmental data, and to integrate data of different marine scientific projects through an innovative and interactive informatics system. Further, the project offers tools for specific capacity building to the research community.
