Established by European scientists in 1978, the European Fede‐ration of Biotechnology (EFB) is Europe’ non-profit federation of national Biotechnology Associations, Learned Societies, Univer‐sities, Scientific Institutes, Biotech Companies and individual biotechnologists working to promote biotechnology throughout Europe and beyond. The mission of EFB is to promote the safe, sustainable and beneficial use of the life sciences, to promote research and innovation at the cutting edge of biotechnology, to foster collaboration between academia, research and industry, to provide a forum for interdisciplinary and international cooperation, to improve scientific education and to facilitate an informed dialogue between scientists and the public. The organisation of EFB with its sections, task groups, regional branch offices in 14 different European countries and the EFB Central Office in Barcelona (Spain) will be discussed. An overview of the main EFB‐activities, which include both central and section themes, European and regional events and reach out both from the perspective of scientific and technological disciplines as well as from the geographic perspective.
Our global challenges require sustainable value creation for science, industry, human society, and environment. Therefore we look forward to build new bridges of insight, translation and friendship with the Asian Federation of Biotechnology.
