BBSRC has announced its Engineering Biology Scale-up Infrastructure Preliminary Activity (EBSI PA) – a new initiative to scope and develop a plan for national scale-up infrastructure supporting researchers and innovators. This is envisioned as an 18-month community-led project that will investigate:
- Current UK scale-up landscape and existing gaps
- Sustainable access models
- Digital infrastructure requirements to support scale-up
- Governance and operating models for a national infrastructure
BBSRC invites you to attend an online webinar to learn more.
This is a key opportunity to help shape the future of engineering biology scale-up infrastructure at Technology Readiness Levels 4–6 in the UK. Participant engagement and insights are vital to ensure future investments deliver maximum impact for the community.
A follow-up in-person workshop will take place on 24 November. Registration will open via an expression of interest process after this webinar. The workshop will give selected members of the community the opportunity to collectively appoint a project team to work with BBSRC on this important initiative.
Please circulate this information to others in the community who may be interested.
