NMA Lunchtime Seminars: Focus on Funding Streams for Natural Materials

 

 

You are invited to join us for our monthly virtual event where we will be focusing on funding streams. This event will explore regional, UK wide and EU funding opportunities acting as a quick guide for funding in a post-Brexit landscape.

 

You will hear from:

  • Graham Ormondroyd, Reader in BioBased Materials, Bangor University
  • Dr Catherine Julia Mort, Knowledge Transfer Manager, Industrial Biotechnology
  • Iris Aquilina Anderson, EU evaluator, Bioeconomy and Diversity consultant, Perfect Symbiosis

The interactive seminar will also provide the opportunity for Question and Answers and we often hang around at the end for a fun and engaging panel session.

What is the NMA?

The Natural Materials Association (NMA) is the first UK body to represent the breadth of natural materials and its primary objective is to raise awareness of innovative uses of natural materials, develop a knowledge exchange between materials scientists, product designers and those in industry and education.
