The inaugural EBIC Early Career Conference is coming up in July 2025, and we want you there!

Are you a UK-based Early Career Researcher (ECR) working in Engineering Biology and Environmental Biotechnology? Join us at EBIC ECR25 on 8-9 July 2025 at Edinburgh!

We are expecting over 50 participants, and we have a fantastic line-up of talks, top plenary speakers, and prizes for the best contributors. The conference is completely FREE* to attend and includes a site visit, workshops, a drinks reception, dinner, and two full days of fascinating presentations from ECRs working in the latest trends and topics in Engineering Biology and Environmental Biotechnology.

Offering a valuable platform to contextualize your research, engage in discussions, improve your communication skills, and connect with like-minded professionals. Our first ECR conference on Engineering Biology for Environmental Sustainability will explore all facets of Engineering Biology and Environmental Biotechnology, so you’re sure to discover something new from our cross-disciplinary community. And if you’re just starting your PhD or don’t have results to share yet, our poster session is the perfect opportunity to showcase your proposed research.

Join us and look forward to networking with peers from across the UK. Know someone else who would benefit from this? We’d love to meet more people working in Engineering Biology and Environmental Biotechnology, so feel free to share the details with this flyer!
