BIO-ACE 

The primary purpose of BIO-ACE will be to improve the research capacity of the Bioengineering Department in Turkey.  BIO-ACE will concentrate on reinforcing its science and technology potential by enhancing interactions between Member States and Associated Candidate Countries laboratories, institutes, commercial enterprises and individuals working in the bioengineering / biotechnology area.  It will support its existing human resources by providing its young scientists with solid and up to date knowledge in bioengineering through exchange programmes, fellowships, training courses. In parallel, it will enhance Turkey’s participation in cooperative European Research Programmes, and will ensure the dissemination of new or pertinent knowledge in meetings, organized collaboratively with various EU institutions.
