Marine genomics has enormous potential to improve our lifestyles and prosperity, and to assist with governance and sustainable management of the marine environment. However, many business leaders and legislators are not yet aware of the potential benefits of marine genomics. Valuable knowledge needs to be made accessible and transferred in user-friendly contexts. MG4U responded to several critical bottlenecks. It spread results from recent and on-going projects in marine genomics and enhanced rapid, efficient knowledge transfer to generate interdisciplinary research capacity in Europe. Scientists, government officials and representatives from small, medium and large enterprises participated in diverse transfer activities. |
