Projects selected for negotiation in the area of the integrated production and exploitation of biological materials for non-food use, under theme 1, Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources Key Action 5.2, are listed below. The abstracts, have been reproduced with permission. Proposal abstracts are reproduced on the understanding that they have been assessed and placed on a list of projects for negotiation for funding by the European Commission (EC). No other conditions or terms are made or may by implied from this publication. The list may change under the contract negotiation phase.

Ongoing and final results are added to the Further Information page for the relevant project as they become available. These are produced by BioMatNet from the non-confidential reports produced as part of the contractual obligations. Availability of printed reports is also indicated within the Further Information. Additional information may be available at a project Website or from project coordinators or the EC Scientific Officer (see Contacts for the relevant project).
