NBIC Membership

The National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC) exists to create a fusion of world class interdisciplinary research and industry partnerships to deliver breakthrough science and technologies to control and exploit biofilms.

NBIC is jointly funded by the BBSRC and Innovate UK. NBIC aims to connect scientists specialising in biofilms across the UK, and to provide a mechanism for industrial partners to explore their unmet needs with NBIC Partners. A key driver behind industry membership is to facilitate the exchange of challenges, solutions and ideas in the biofilms sector.

NBIC operates a tiered membership model that reflects the Member's size
and type of organisation. There are four tiers of industry membership within
NBIC: Tier 0, Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3.
