Networks and Cooperations - Fraunhofer EMB

The intensive networking with partners from business and science supports our institution in the utility- and application-oriented research work. In this way, the competencies of different specialist disciplines are bundled and synergies are promoted in order to develop technological innovations.

The Fraunhofer EMB participates in the following networks and cooperations:

BIO Deutschland

Since March 2016, the topic "Industrial Cell Technology" has been present as a working group at the industry association BIO Germany. The content is about the development of complex cell culture systems and analysis technologies as well as the development of innovative devices and materials.

Gesellschaft für Marine Aquakultur

The GMA - Society for Marine Aquaculture mbH - operates its own research and development plant (circulatory systems) for aquaculture in Büsum. The GMA supports the implementation of own and external applied research and development projects in the field of fish farming and husbandry. Fish, shellfish and plants are mainly produced in different production systems for the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and animal feed industries. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is one of the four shareholders of the GMA and thus also represented on the Supervisory Board. The EMB is currently cooperating with the GMA in a large joint project with partners from Malawi (www.fish-for-life.org).
