The basic concept of NatForce project is the scientific and technological reinforcement of the Laboratory of Pharmacognosy and Natural Products Chemistry of the University of Athens (LNPC) in Greece.
The project is funded by the EU FP7-REGPOT-2007-1, budget: €1,050,000
The main objectives of the project is to upgrade the research Laboratory to a state of the art research centre in the field of natural products in Europe which will provide contribution and spread of scientific knowledge on the production of high added value natural compounds for pharmaceuticals/agrochemicals
/nutraceuticals.
The achievement of the above objective is based on
· Acquirement and upgrade of instrumentation for cost-effective high throughput analysis
· Know-how transfer about high throughput analysis and pharmacological screening
· Recruitment of scientists and opportunity for high level research activities
· Organization of workshops and participation in European and international conferences
· Dissemination and promotional activities of research achievements and offered services.
· Developing strategic partnership with well established EU research centers
