Abstract
The UK Government recognises the importance of academic research in bioprocessing and often views it in the context of the development of new products or technologies for the pharmaceutical industry. As a result, funding schemes aimed specifically at bioprocessing usually attempt to underpin industrial needs. This presentation will highlight the most relevant funding schemes and also other more general opportunities that academics in this area can pursue.
