The National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC) are pleased to announce the launch of their biofilm awareness campaign, #BiofilmAware, which will run over the next 12 months.

Biofilms are well known to a number of research and development disciplines, but not to the general public. What they are, how they are formed and how they impact our world, generally is still a mystery to those outside the scientific community. Through a blend of content, events and outreach activities #BiofilmAware will work to raise awareness of NBIC and its research, and the many societal and economic impacts of biofilms.

A range of digital campaign resources are available on the NBIC website via the #BiofilmAware hub – Visit biofilms.ac.uk/biofilmaware to download and start sharing! The hub will be updated over the duration of the campaign with new and exciting content for you to share on a regular basis.

If you’re interested in supporting our campaign, or if you’re an academic in a research institution or a commercial organisation with a desire to join our mission to achieve breakthroughs in biofilm innovation, please contact us at nbic@biofilms.ac.uk.
