An open-concept lab that allows citizens, educational institutions and public or private organizations to co-create new concepts for companies, citizens and the city, promoting scientific knowledge

BIOLAB LISBOA is a laboratory, an open and multidisciplinary innovation ecosystem, created as a partnership between the Municipality of Lisboa and the University of Lisboa, Science Faculty.
It aims to empower the city and citizens of Lisbon through scientific knowledge and innovative solutions in the area of Biotechnology.
Equipped for areas from Synthetic Biology to BioMaterials, in this space it is possible to co-create new concepts based on Biotechnological knowledge. Through various activities, its users can learn, test, apply and create.
The presented workshops promote experimentation, prototyping, training, proof-of-concept, acceleration & business creation in areas like Biotechnology, BioMaking, Bioart, BioMaterials and Molecular Cooking. The Open Days are a good opportunity to experiment and apply knowledge, since there is space and support to carry out one's own experiments.
BioLab Lisboa is now developing and expanding. The number of partnerships is growing and many new projects appearing outside the lab, and even outside the country.
In just one year of existence there were 52 workshops spread over 74 training days, with over 800 participants and more than 15 relevant projects. Also invitations to several partnerships and participation in more than 10 national and international events.
