Abstract

The March Cafe Synthetique will be replaced with a launch event for the Cambridge SynBio Fund, where we will match people with skills to people and teams with project ideas.

Come along for mixing, drinks, refreshments and an introduction to funding opportunities for innovative, open and interdisciplinary projects relevant to Synthetic Biology over 2015-16.

Up to nine 6-month projects per year will receive £4k each, with an additional £1k awarded on completion for follow-on and outreach. The first round of applications closes on 9 April 2015.

The aim of the fund is to promote the development of Synthetic Biology as an interdisciplinary field at the University of Cambridge – to facilitate exchange between the biological and physical sciences, engineering and humanities, and the development of open technologies and responsible innovation in the context of Synthetic Biology.

For more information and to apply to the fund see the Synthetic Biology SRI website: http://www.synbio.cam.ac.uk/synbiofund
