European research infrastructures for marine bioprospecting
We are a groundbreaking project poised to revolutionize the discovery of new marine products by establishing a comprehensive pipeline of advanced research services.
- For Marcel Jaspars, one message stands out: “Projects like EUREMAP must lead by example, engaging with the broader ecosystem of knowledge and ensuring research at sea is not just innovative, but also fair.” Ethics is not a limitation it’s the foundation of lasting impact. #EUREMAP #MarineBiotech
- True innovation in marine science must also be fair, inclusive, and responsible. Projects like EUREMAP are working to set an example — building a culture of integrity and openness in ocean research. #EUREMAP #OceanEthics #ResponsibleScience
- Ethics in marine bioprospecting isn’t just about laws. Marcel Jaspars reminds us that engaging with indigenous peoples and local communities is vital, recognising their knowledge and ensuring fair benefit-sharing. 🌿 #EthicalResearch #EUREMAP
- Marine researchers must now navigate a complex legal framework: ⚖️ Nagoya Protocol — fair access & benefit-sharing in national waters. 🌍 BBNJ Agreement — new rules for resources beyond national jurisdiction. 🧬 CBD & DSI — guidance for the use of digital DNA sequence data. #MarineResearch #EUREMAP
- Marine bioprospecting is advancing fast — but the biggest challenges today aren’t technological. As Marcel Jaspars (EUREMAP Scientific & Ethical Advisory Board) told us, the key issues are governance, compliance, and fairness in sharing marine genetic resources. #EUREMAP #OceanEthics #BlueBiotech
