title: [Sharing of biotechnology: contractual agreements as avant-garde].
abstract: In the face of growing exclusivist strategies that tend to hamper research and undermine equity, sharing imperatives have become a cornerstone of biotechnology development. Whereas a proliferation of laws and conventions now require the sharing of biological resources and knowledge as well as the sharing of benefits, contractual agreements more and more appear as a most useful tool to implement these requirements.
