Project overview
This proposal will advance development of the major strategic collaborative funding initiatives between the UK's National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC), and the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE), a research Centre of Excellence based at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The shared vision of NBIC and SCELSE is to build a globally leading UK-Singapore partnership in biofilm research. Specifically, this Global Partnering Award will facilitate: - Placements and Internships (~five); to build collaborative and supervisory relationships in advance of the commencement of our joint PhD program. - Targeted visits to develop major strategic collaborative funding initiatives; we anticipate five early career researcher exchanges between NBIC and SCELSE. These exchanges will also provide shared, collaborative access to facilities established at SCELSE, NTU and NUS and across the UK NBIC consortium.
