Microbial systems provide a range of environmental protection and bioremediation services, forming the basis for some of the world’s largest industries across the Water-Wastes-Soil nexus.
The aim of the Environmental Biotechnology Network (EBNet) is to bring together natural and social scientists and engineers to move discovery science towards practical application in creating and optimising engineered microbial systems for environmental protection, bio-remediation and resource recovery.
Originally funded by the BBSRC and EPSRC, EBNet is one of 6 Networks in Biotechnology and Bioenergy (NIBBs). It builds on the previous very successful Anaerobic Digestion Network, one of 13 Phase I NIBBs.
A short presentation on what EBNet is and does is available here.
