Description

I was involved in the setting up of a UK network of open access biorefining centres called BioPilots UK. This consisted of five finding member nation wide centres, including the ERDF funded BEACON programme, which is a collaboration between Abersytwyth, Bangor and Swansea Universities. I co-oridinated BEACON's input into the development and launch of this network. The aim of BioPilots UK is to develop joint research bids, opportunities for equipment sharing and staff secondments between the different centres. The founding members of this network included BEACON (Wales), IBIOC (Scotland), BDC (York), CPI (Wilton) and IFR (Norwich)
