BBSRC ICURe Explore

The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) Innovation to Commercialisation of University Research (ICURe) Explore trains, funds, and supports research teams to determine whether there is a market for products or services that utilise their bioscience-based ideas, research, science and technologies.

Funding is available to ‘get out of the lab’ and validate commercially promising ideas in the marketplace. The training and support activities are carried out in a blended online and in person format, providing accessibility to a wide range of applicants.

BBSRC ICURe Explore is open to research teams in all UK universities, BBSRC-funded institutes and approved public sector research enterprises (PSREs).

The closing date for applications is 5pm UK time on 18 March 2025.
