Biotechnology for the Built Environment - Annual Summit 2021

In July 2021 The Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment (HBBE) successfully delivered their first Annual Summit – BBE21. This was a free, online, four day event which hosted international speakers who are all leaders in biotechnology, design and other fields related to the built environment. In addition, BBE21 showcased some of the early work and research emerging from the HBBE.


The Summit was organised around the HBBE’s four HBBE research themes - Microbial Environments, Living Construction, Building Metabolism and Responsible Interactions – together addressing questions of how biotechnology may help construct more sustainable, ecological and liveable environments. The full Agenda of the passed event can be found here.


To continue the longevity, legacy and impact of BBE21, all presentations were recorded and will be being uploaded to the HBBE’s YouTube channel in due course. But in the meantime, the raw footage of the full days of the event can still be accessed on the HBBE YouTube Channel linked here.


Importantly, each day of BBE21 held a Poster Session, where the full cohort of HBBE PhD Students and Research Associates presented their work. You can view and read all of the Academic Posters from across each HBBE Research Theme day of the event by clicking the four button banners linked below.
