ERA-IB is an ERA-NET funded from the European Commission's sixth Framework Programme. In the ERA-NET "Towards an ERA in Industrial Biotechnology" 17 partners and 5 observers from 12 different countries joined forces to reduce fragmentation of national research efforts in the area of Industrial Biotechnology (IB). The ERA-IB network started in 2006 and within its five-year duration the partners aimed to reduce fragmentation of national research efforts and to achieve sufficient critical mass and better use of scarce resources in the field of Industrial Biotechnology. ERA-IB network has launched two transnational joint calls:
ERA-IB launched two transnational calls for research projects in 2007 and 2009, under the topic: Industrial Biotechnology for Europe – an Integrated Approach.
