This section highlights key milestones and strategic developments shaping IBISBA’s advancements towards an ERIC
The French Ministry for Higher Education and Research (MESR) formally requested the European Commission to launch the process leading to the creation of IBISBA-ERIC.
The IBISBA consortium made significant headway toward establishing a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) by 2025.
Following the successful completion of PREP-IBISBA, the ‘Preparatory Phase of IBISBA,’ significant strides have been made in laying the foundation for IBISBA’s legal status. Building upon the achievements of PREP-IBISBA, the focus now shifts to the DIALS project.
In March 2024, the European Commission released a communication titled “Building the Future with Nature: Boosting Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing in the EU.”
The two-day IBISBA mini-summit, “Inspiring Biotech Solutions,” held at the prestigious Fondation Victor Lyon in France from January 31st to February 1st, was a pivotal moment that united a diverse array of researchers, political stakeholders, and industry representatives.
