'''Strategy: Spanish Strategy for Science and Technology and Innovation'''<ref name="idi">http://www.idi.mineco.gob.es/</ref><br />
<br />
'''Leading Authority''': Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO)<ref name="mine">http://www.mineco.gob.es/</ref><br />
<br />
'''Implementing body''': Secretariat of state for research, development and innovation (SEIDI)<ref name="idim"> http://www.idi.mineco.gob.es/</ref><br />
<br />
'''Time frame''': 2013-2020<br />
<br />
The Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO), through the Secretariat of State for Research, Development and Innovation, is the department of the General State Administration responsible for elaborating and implementing government policies on scientific research, technological development and innovation in all sectors, as well as for coordinating state-owned research institutions. <br />
In particular, MINECO is responsible for the proposal, management, monitoring and evaluation of the State programmes and strategic actions of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and for Innovation 2013-2016, in line with the Spanish Strategy of Science, Technology and Innovation 2013-2020. <br />
The strategy is under the leading authority of Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) through the Secretariat of state for research, development and innovation. The main objectives of the Spanish Strategy for Science and Technology and Innovation are:<br />
<br />
#The '''Recognition and promotion of talent in RDI and its employability'''. This is aimed at increasing the training capacities in RDI of the System, encouraging job placement and the employability of trained resources, both in the public and business sectors, and facilitating their temporary mobility among the public institutions and between these and the private sector for the implementation of RDI activities.<br />
#The '''Promotion of scientific and technical research of excellence'''. This aims to promote the generation of knowledge, increase the scientific leadership of the country and its institutions and to encourage the generation of new opportunities which may trigger the future development of highly competitive technological and business capacities.<br />
#The '''Promotion of business leadership in RDI'''. The objective is to increase the competitiveness of the production network by increasing RDI activities in all areas and, particularly, in those sectors which are strategic for growth and the creation of jobs in the Spanish economy and the Autonomous Regions.<br />
#The '''Promotion of RDI activities aimed at addressing global societal challenges''' and in particular at those affecting the Spanish society. This objective addresses the need to encourage the scientific and innovative potential of the country towards areas which respond to the numerous problems faced by our society and which require major effort as regards RDI. These challenges, given their nature and complexity, require that the generation of new knowledge be combined with its application to technologies, products and services that may in the future contribute to the scientific, technological and business leadership of the country. The strategy is implemented through the Spanish National Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''National Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation'''<br />
<br />
'''Programme''': National Plan of Scientific and Technological Research and Innovation 2013-2016<br />
<br />
'''Leading authority and implementing agency/organization''': Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO)<ref name="mineco">http://www.mineco.es</ref><ref name="idimineco">http://www.idi.mineco.gob.es/stfls/MICINN/Investigacion/FICHEROS/Spanish_RDTI_Plan_2013-2016.pdf</ref><br />
<br />
'''Time frame''': 2013- 2016<br />
<br />
<br />
The '''NATIONAL PLAN''' is a document designed to develop and fund Central Government actions in the area of RDI to enable achievement of the objectives and priorities of the SPANISH STRATEGY ON SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. In addition, the document has been drafted as a funding instrument of the Spanish Science, Technology and Innovation System into account by designing actions and funding mechanisms that will increase the scientific and technological leadership of its stakeholders, both public and private; drive the abilities of our productive community through the country’s RDI; foster talent in RDI by defining mechanisms to facilitate successful insertion in the job market; and guide RDI activities towards the challenges facing society. <br />
Thus, the actions of Central Government contained in the '''NATIONAL PLAN''' are set out in four '''NATIONAL PROGRAMMES''' which correspond to the STRATEGY objectives. These PROGRAMMES enable the development of specific objectives linked to implementation and development of the '''PLAN''' itself, which are linked, in turn, to the corresponding indicators of the impact of the results.<br />
<br />
The specific objectives of the '''NATIONAL PLAN''' are:<br />
#Strengthen training and employment of human resources in RDI activities in both the public and private sectors.<br />
#Improve the quality of scientific and technical research to achieve the highest level of excellence and impact, contributing international scientific and technological leadership of all the stakeholders from the Spanish Science, Technology and Innovation System.<br />
#Strengthen the capacities and international leadership of institutions, centres and scientific and technical research performers.<br />
#Facilitate access to scientific and technological infrastructures and to scientific equipment, with special reference to large national and international scientific and technical facilities.<br />
#Drive entrepreneurial leadership in RDI by strengthening the RDI capacities of companies and incorporating SMEs in the innovation process. <br />
#Encourage the creation and growth of technology based companies and the promotion of efficient networks of investors that give access to new methods of funding RDI activities.<br />
#Increase collaboration in RDI between the public sector and the business sector.<br />
#Stimulate RDI oriented to respond to societal challenges.<br />
#Drive internationalisation of RDI activities of stakeholders in the Spanish Science, Technology and Innovation System and its active participation in the European Research Area.<br />
#Foster a scientific, technological and innovative culture in Spanish society and dissemination of the results of scientific-technical research and innovation financed with public funds. <br />
#Explore RDI policies based on demand<br />
<br />
<br />
The Spanish National Plan is focussed on research and innovation and it has been developed to implement the National Strategy. <br />
The '''PLAN''' sets out the scientific-technical societal and economic priorities established by National Government to encourage RDI which are equally subject to strict principles of competition and evaluation in accordance with internationally established criteria. <br />
The priorities of the '''NATIONAL PLAN''' are: (a) the generation of knowledge, in any field of research, which contributes to encouraging excellence and international leadership of the Spanish System of Science, Technology and Innovation, and (b) the scientific and social priorities integrated in the '''NATIONAL RDI PROGRAMME AIMED AT THE CHALLENGES OF SOCIETY''' guiding scientific and technical research and business development in RDI to the major challenges faced by Spanish society. <br />
'''RDI AIMED AT THE CHALLENGES OF SOCIETY''' include: (1) Health, demographic change and well-being, (2) Food safety and quality, productive and sustainable farming, natural resources, marine and maritime research, (3) Safe, efficient and clean energy, (4) Smart, sustainable and integrated transport (5) Action on climate change and efficient use of resources and raw materials, (6) Changes and social innovations, (7) Digital society and economy (8) Safety, protection and defense.<br />
Grants under the '''NATIONAL PLAN''' are awarded by means of competitive procedures, as foreseen in the General Law 38/2003, of 17 November 2003, on Grants, open procedures, and are only in exceptional cases awarded under other direct mechanisms in accordance with article 22.2 of the aforementioned Law. In addition, grants may be a combination of funds from different sources 15 including funds from the European Union, other governments, public-private co-financing and any others.<br />
The following are considered stakeholders suitable for participation in the actions financed under the '''NATIONAL PLAN''': <br />

<hr />
<div>__TOC__<br />
Ziconotide can be extracted from the poison of cone snails (Conus spp.), and belongs to the chemical family of the conopetides, a group which has received high attention for its potential use as painkillers. The Irish Elan cooperation brought a syntheticall version of the drug on the European markets in 2005 under the brand name Prialt® <ref name="art">Kijjoa A and P Sawangwong. 2004. Drugs and cosmetics from the sea (review paper). Mar. Drugs 2004:73-82. </ref>. The drug is intended for use by patients suffering from intense and prolonged pain caused by e.g. cancer, aids or neuropathic pain <ref name="neuro pain">http://www.iasp-pain.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Pain_Definitions</ref>, who get insufficient pain relief from classical painkillers.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Mode of Action===<br />
<br />
[[Image: Ziconotide.JPG|thumb|right|300px|Figure 1: Chemical structure of ziconotide]]<br />
Ziconotide works by blocking ion channels in neurons, effectively stopping the transmission of pain signals. More specifically, ziconotide acts in a specific region of the spinal cords where nocireceptors connect to the neurons. Contrary to classical (strong) painkillers (such as e.g. morphine) this has the advantage of keeping the rest of the nervous system fully functional, preventing side effects such as general sedation and depressed respiration. Additionally, the ziconotide is reported to be a fifty to several thousand times more powerful painkiller then morphine <ref name="art">Kijjoa A and P Sawangwong. 2004. Drugs and cosmetics from the sea (review paper). Mar. Drugs 2004:73-82. </ref>. However, for good results, ziconotide needs to be directly injected into the spinal cord, demanding the use of specialized systems and modes of administration. This reduces the use of ziconotide the most serious cases.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Origin & Development===<br />

Ziconotide can be extracted from the poison of cone snakes (Conus spp.), and belongs to the chemical family of the conopetides, a group which has received high attention for its potential use as painkillers.

===Mode of Action===<br />
<br />
[[Image: Ziconotide.JPG|thumb|right|300px|Figure 1: Chemical structure of ziconotide]]<br />
Ziconotide works by blocking ion channels in neurons, effectively stopping the transmission of pain signals. More specifically, ziconotide acts in a specific region of the spinal cords where nocireceptors connect to the neurons. Contrary to classical (strong) painkillers (such as e.g. morphine) this has the advantage of keeping the rest of the nervous system fully functional, preventing side effects such as general sedation and depressed respiration. Additionally, the ziconotide is reported to be a fifty to several thousand times more powerful painkiller then morphine <ref name="art">Kijjoa A and P Sawangwong. 2004. Drugs and cosmetics from the sea (review paper). Mar. Drugs 2004:73-82. </ref>. However, for good results, ziconotide needs to be directly injected into the spinal cord, demanding the use of specialized systems and modes of administration. This reduces the use of ziconotide the most serious cases.<br />

<div>While it is difficult to predict major innovations in life science and their future impact on society, it is clear that developments in life science technologies have been, and will continue to be in the future, one of the key drivers of Marine Biotechnology research. In the 1990s Marine Biotechnology developments were largely the result of the molecular biology revolution. During the last decade, the genomic revolution was clearly the primary driving force. Aside from advances in -omics, the development and optimisation of appropriate bio-engineering tools and the cultivation of microorganisms and the use of marine model organisms need to be stimulated, as they are expected to have a large impact on future progress in Marine Biotechnology. This is also true for the increasing number of full length genome sequences of marine organisms, which needs to be understood and utilized.<br />

<div>Marine Biotechnology is playing an increasingly important role in the protection and management of the marine environment. Achievements in this field have been less substantial than expected during the last decade and most of the applications routinely used nowadays still rely on traditional methods based on chemistry and microbiology. This is mainly the result of the complexity of marine ecosystems on one hand, and the gap between results in marine genomic approaches and the development of derived commercial assays and products on the other hand. However, the potential contribution of Marine Biotechnology for environmental applications is enormous and requires urgent attention.<br />

<br />
Proteins and enzymes from marine organisms already contribute significantly to industrial biotechnology but can also support novel process development in the food and pharmaceutical industries or in molecular biology and diagnostic kits. For example, the luminescent properties of the jellyfish ''Aequorea victoria'' led to the characterisation of the green fluorescent protein (GFP). GFP and the luciferase enzyme from ''Vibrio fischeri'' have widespread applications in molecular biology as a reporter protein. The same is true for the shrimp alkaline phosphatease and other marine derived enzymes with unique heat labile properties used to simplify molecular biology reactions like PCR and others. <br />
<br />
In the past decade, biopolymers of marine origin have received increasing attention from the medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for numerous applications ranging from biodegradable plastics to food additives, pharmaceutical and medical polymers, wound dressings, bio-adhesives, dental biomaterials, tissue regeneration and 3D tissue culture scaffolds. However, marine-derived biomaterials science is still relatively new and the marine environment is, as yet, a relatively untapped resource for the discovery of new enzymes, biopolymers and biomaterials for industrial applications. <br />

The ocean is an untapped, potentially sustainable source of bioenergy. There are many examples of the production of bio-energy from marine organisms, but the production of biofuel from microalgae presents perhaps the most promising option to harvest this huge energy potential. The theoretical production of oil from microalgae is considerably higher than that of terrestrial crops but, to achieve viability, the cost of production will need to be significantly reduced and the scale of production increased, while maintaining environmental sustainability. To cultivate microalgae for the generation of bio-energy is an important challenge for Marine Biotechnology in the 21st century.<br />

Marine Biotechnology has contributed significantly to increasing production efficiency and product quality, to the introduction of new species for intensive cultivation and the to the development of sustainable practices through a better understanding of the molecular and physiological basis for health, reproduction, development and growth, and a better control of these processes. However, commercial aquaculture continues to face challenges in understanding and controlling reproduction, early life-stage development, growth, nutrition, disease and animal health management and environmental interactions and sustainability.<br />

<div>Marine Biotechnology is essential to satisfy the growing demand for high quality and healthy products from fisheries and aquaculture in a sustainable way. The growing demand for marine food will need to be increasingly delivered through intensive aquaculture. Rapid biological and biotechnological progress in the last decade has resulted in a more efficient and environmentally responsible aquaculture and a greater diversity of marine food products.<br />

<br />
Marine Biotechnology has contributed significantly to increasing production efficiency and product quality, to the introduction of new species for intensive cultivation and the to the development of sustainable practices through a better understanding of the molecular and physiological basis for health, reproduction, development and growth, and a better control of these processes. However, commercial aquaculture continues to face challenges in understanding and controlling reproduction, early life-stage development, growth, nutrition, disease and animal health management and environmental interactions and sustainability.</div>Fiendhttps://www.coastalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=File:Mbt_aquaculture.jpg&diff=54158File:Mbt aquaculture.jpg2012-10-01T14:04:26Z<p>Fiend: </p>
