Abstract:
The paper reports of the successful knowledge transfer of the DFG (German research foundation) research unit RU816/Ecuador in the context of the Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).<br/>
It introduces the approach of the RU816 and its scientific education and capacity building. It further presents the shared access to research facilities, technology and information as well as the potentials of a transfer of basic research to application and the public education and awareness. The authors conclude with a description of the DFG and the ABS process.
