The NBIC aim to connect  scientists specialising in Biofilms across the UK, and to provide a mechanism for industrial partners to explore their unmet needs with NBIC researchers . With NBIC roadmapping sessions and conferences, they aim to facilitate the exchange of problems , solutions and ideas in the biofilms sector. Through their PhD and Post-Doc programs, NBIC will nurture researchers to grow their expertise . NBIC will also provide entrepreneur training to our researchers to help them better understand  the commercial environment  and encourage the start-up of Micro and SME businesses.

The School of Applied Science has form links with the National Biofilm Innovation Centre and the University is now a member of the NBIC. This allows us to have a access to different resources and has a great opportunity for funding calls via the NBIC. More information:  https://biofilms.ac.uk/category/open-funding-calls/
