Our aim is to foster active collaborative links within the biological resource community
The key objectives of The UKBRCN are to:
co-ordinate engagement with users and common stakeholders (editorial boards, grant funding authorities, UK government)
share best practice regarding quality and compliance, ensuring that users of living genetic resources and collection are within the law (Nagoya Protocol)
provide expert responses and solutions to the problems faced by those working with and harnessing biological resource
raise awareness of the value of culture collections to the scientific community by providing information and training
co-ordinate grant applications in key areas of research to enhance scientific procedures and services of the UK’s biological resource centres
