Atlanpole Biotherapies and CEBR
The Annual CEBR (Council of European BioRegions) meeting was held from 22 to 23 March in Munich, Germany. The event was hosted by BioM, a biotechnology cluster in Bavaria. During this meeting, Altanpole Biotherapies was represented by Roza Puzio, European Project Manager. She participated in a roundtable discussion about cluster strategy and financing which was animated by Prof. Dr Horst Domdey, CEO BioM.
For two days, the representatives of 23 European clusters have been working on future strategy, activities, membership and finances of CEBR. On 23rd March 2018, the General Assembly has elected Florence Hallouin to join the Board of the organisation. Other two new members are Celine Queron from ID2Sante and Per Spindler from BioPeople (Denmark).
“As a CEBR Board member, I would like to continue the work started by my colleague Gregory Bauer (Board member 2015-2016). I wish to contribute to CEBR efforts to develop the medicine of the future. More broadly, I also believe that the role of the CEBR is to lobby at the European level to strengthen our Bioregions”
