The Engineering Biology IRC provides a range of opportunities for external stakeholders including members of the local biotechnology industry, members of external higher education and research institutes, policymakers and members of the public. Opportunities range from helping to find collaborators to sharing news and opportunities with our community.
The IRC can support external partners and affiliates to:
- Find partners and collaborators at the university
- Raise awareness of your organisation in our community and attract talent
- Learn about engineering biology research and network at our events
- Learn about responsible research and the societal impacts of engineering biology
- Keep up to date with relevant news from the community
