BEST (BioEffective Surfaces for Transport) network

UK-ARC is pleased to support the which has just issued its first newsletter which you can read here https://mailchi.mp/f5b39d19f63f/best-network-newsletter . One of the first activities of the UK-ARC was to provide a review of bio-safe flight research expertise within academia to the ADS (Aerospace Defence and Security) trade body when the sector was seeking to address concerns about COVID-19 infection risks. The EPSRC BEST network moves the state-off-the-art knowledge further and for all modes of transport, not just aviation. There are clear links to the UK-ARC materials and manufacturing theme. The BEST network has recently announced an in-person conference in Manchester on Sept 8^th. This may be of interest to some people in the UK-ARC community. If you would be interested to attend, please use this link to register https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1407173526899 and do pass on to anyone who might have a research interest in bio-effective surfaces for transport.
