This year’s joint Biomaker/OpenPlant Fund provides up to £3000 for interdisciplinary projects that (i) build low-cost sensors and instruments for biology or (ii) develop a biological resource or outreach project.

Whether you are a biologist, engineer, physical scientist, maker, or you’re just curious and interested to participate, we’re keen to hear from you! The challenge provides opportunities to work with an interdisciplinary team to identify and solve lab or field challenges, learn to use code-free programming for hardware and user interface development, develop biological applications, scientific instruments and real-world tools, or develop new ideas.

This informational session and mixer on the 25th of April will be an opportunity to learn more about the challenge, pitch project ideas, find collaborators and more.

If you are interested in putting a team together and applying, this mixer event is for you!
