EIRA Knowledge Exchange Lead – Biotechnology

The EIRA Knowledge Exchange Lead - Biotech will build knowledge exchange connections across eastern England, using innovation to improve business productivity in support of the EIRA project (Enabling Innovation: Research to Application). EIRA is funded by Research England and will run from 2018-2021 with a remit to accelerate cluster growth to generate a more fertile supply chain and improve the attractiveness of the region to inward investors. In addition, the consortium will harness the combined capacity to support an expansion in KE activities across the region. The project is led from the University of Essex's Research & Enterprise Office (REO) and will be delivered in collaboration with the Universities of Kent and East Anglia and four other partners in the region. The EIRA KE Lead - Biotech will be working with the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Essex.
