European Federation of Biotechnology  欧洲生物技术联合会 EFB   
欧洲生物技术联盟是一家非营利协会，由欧洲所有致力于生物技术推广的国家与跨国学术团体、大学、学院、企业和个人组成。

欧洲生物技术联盟（ E FB）由欧洲科学家于1978年创办，目的是为了促进欧洲工业界和学术界的生物技术专家之间的合作，并采用一种社会上和道德上都可接受的方式来推广生物技术；通过支持健康的科学以及工程和技术的应用，促进生命科学领域自然资源的安全、可持续的有益利用；促进人们及其观点的交流，为专家学者和研究生组织课题，并促进欧洲的技术创新，以达到推动生物技术进步的共同目标。

E FB目前正启动一些进行机遇评估与开发的活动，以促进欧盟和一些主要的国家和地区（如中国、东南亚和南美）在生物技术方面达成合作和建立战略合作伙伴关系。

现在在欧洲，参与 E FB活动的科学家和学者已经超过了1000多人。此外，EFB还设立了很多的工作组，研究和提供有关生物技术使用和应用方面以及相关的道德和安全方面的公共认识和高质量信息。

Established by European scientists in 1978, the European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB) is Europe’s non-profit federation of National Biotechnology Associations, Learned Societies, Universities, 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 provide a forum for interdisciplinary and international cooperation, to improve scientific education and to facilitate an informed dialogue between scientists and the public.
With 108 Institutional members from across Europe and 13.500 personal members, the EFB has 14 Regional Branch Offices in Europe to support its activities in the various areas of biotechnology covered by the Federation.
The EFB Central Office (ECO) is located in Barcelona, Spain. Membership administration, organization of Executive Board meetings and General Assemblies, website management and organization of the European Congresses on Biotechnology are some of the main responsibilities of ECO.
