IBioIC Policy Forum Launched

IBioIC has now officially launched the IBioIC Policy Forum group. The group will be IBioIC’s approach to ensuring an evidence-based approach to future policy making, adding value to membership of IBioIC, whilst supporting the wider aims of the National Plan for Industrial Biotechnology.

Membership of the IBioIC Policy Forum

The purpose of the Policy Forum will not be for lobbying on behalf of industry members, as IBioIC is not a trade association. In the interests of transparency the Terms of Reference are now on the IBioIC website as a publication: Terms of reference for IBioIC Policy Forum.

The policy forum has an open invitation to all members of IBioIC if they would like to join the group, please contact Debbie at debbie.mccreath@ibioic.com with your intent to join the group.
