Abstract

The overarching aim of IBISBA 1.0 is to support and accelerate the uptake of industrial biotechnology as a key enabling technology for advanced manufacturing. To do this, IBISBA 1.0 will provide a distributed network of research infrastructure facilities to promote R&D in bioprocess development and support this bioeconomy KET. The facilities cover a variety of experimental and in silico operations and disciplines, and together represent the R&D continuum in the range TRL2 to 6 needed to build quality biomanufacturing processes for industrialization. In addition to hardware, IBISBA 1.0 will operate an ICT platform, linking all project events occurring on facilities, and external data repositories, and provide users with end-toend project management and access to a wide variety of research assets. Together, these developments create the basis for a future pan-European research infrastructure for industrial biotechnology, the feasibility of which will be established during the project. Through IBISBA 1.0, the participant facilities will be opened for transnational access, thus providing cutting edge technologies to a cross section of Europe's researchers, including early career stage.

Goals

- Develop a common scientific and technological culture and exchange good practices among the multidisciplinary
project beneficiaries
- Develop and deliver e-learning and face-to-face trainings to infrastructure operators (current beneficiaries and external)
- Provide and coordinate training for potential infrastructure users
- Build skills in accessing and sharing knowledge with other research groups, especially from groups in other disciplines
- Familiarize with modelling, systems technologies, aids and tools as they are required to integrate tasks, reduce
development times, and automate manual pieces of work
