Professional title ECBA issues a European Professional title in biology, named EurProBiol.

This pan-European professional title has an entry requirement agreed by the national biological associations in ECBA, and can be awarded to suitably qualified biologists in any of the participating countries. Ideas bank ECBA organisations in European countries are different in size, position in society and level of activities. Therefore, member organisations in ECBA can benefit on the experience from other countries. We share this experience via internet, regular meetings and personal contacts.
