We’re excited to announce the return of IBioIC’s 3rd Annual Careers & Jobs Fair, taking place on Thursday 24th July 2025 at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow – and registration is now open for exhibitors and student attendees!

Join Edinburgh Napier University and IBioIC for an inspiring and practical session exploring how collaborative partnerships can drive real-world biotech innovation.

This webinar will showcase the landscape of support available through IBioIC, with insights from successful biotech spin-outs Celtic Renewables and Mercel. Hear directly from founders and leaders about their journeys from idea to impact, and discover how you can leverage support to turn research into reality.

Delivered by One Click LCA in collaboration with IBioIC, this webinar introduces environmental product declarations (EPDs) — what they are, why they matter, and how manufacturers can produce them independently using streamlined, digital tools.

Join us for the second of our four exciting regional Innovation Centres Roadshows! This event, hosted at Forth Valley College (Falkirk), marks the beginning of a new decade for Scotland’s four national innovation centres. Be part of the journey! Whether you're an entrepreneur, researcher, student, academic or industry professional, this event is your opportunity to connect with Scotland’s Innovation Centres and explore how we can work together to build a sustainable future.

The Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC), in conjunction with UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT), are hosting this in-person workshop to encourage knowledge sharing and collaboration between textiles industry challenge holders and biotechnology solution providers.

Join us for a focused, one hour session designed to help you tap into Horizon Europe – the EU’s flagship funding programme for research and innovation. You’ll gain insights into available support, hear lessons from a live project case study and get practical tips on how to build successful consortia. 

Learn more about studying MSc Industrial Biotechnology at Strathclyde. The webinar will include an overview of our MSc Industrial Technology programme and the opportunity to ask Department staff and our Admissions Team any questions you might have in a Q&A session.

Join us for this interactive online workshop designed to explore the policy and regulatory changes needed to unlock the full potential of bio-based chemicals and materials.. Hosted by Dr. Jen Vandhoven, COO of BBIA for the Bio-Based and Biodegradable Materials Regulatory Science Network (BB-REG-NET), this session brings together key stakeholders to examine the systemic barriers and identify strategies for progress.

At this Crucible, guests will come together to find connections and synergies and form consortia to deliver solutions to the challenge posed at the beginning of the event. 

We are pleased to welcome you to the Scottish Fermentation Network’s 12th Meeting, a one-day conference on Sustainable bio-based chemicals production – towards a low carbon future.

Join us for networking with a view!

We warmly invite you to join us for an afternoon of networking at our next member event being held in Glasgow on Thursday, 12 October, 2023.

We are delighted to invite all our members to attend our Summer Networking event at The Corinthian Club in Glasgow on Thursday 15 June from 1pm-5pm. This is a beautiful, centrally located venue and will be a great opportunity for some summer networking!

IBioIC is delighted to host this in person event with HORIBA.

Talks will be given on monitoring, yield and process improvements in biomanufacturing using absorbance and spectroscopy.

This event aims to bring together likeminded individuals working in the biotech and life science sector, and women looking to pursue a career in this industry. We will have talks from inspirational women in the industry on topics ranging from leadership and the visibility of women in biotech, investment opportunities available, and ways to connect with one another.

This funding aims to support researchers in the development of their independent research and their affiliation with the industry sector.

SULSA will hold an online information session on this prize on Wednesday 5 April 2023 at 14:00 – 15:00.

Decentralised science is taking the world by storm, but what's all the fuss about? What if we told you that you could redesign the way we do science? Morgan Richards from ValleyDAO will discuss the principles of decentralisation, why we should challenge the systems that we've become all too accustomed to and how we can apply these strategies to accelerate synthetic biology research.

We are delighted to invite all our members to attend our Winter Social event at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh on Wednesday 7 December from 1pm-5pm.

Join the 11th Scottish Fermentation Network event that will take place in Edinburgh!
