Join the InnovATEBIO network
Why join the InnovATEBIO community?
The InnovATEBIO community works together to improve workforce education in bioscience and biotechnology. As a member of the InnovATEBIO community, you'll be able to connect and collaborate with other members of the community to create new opportunities for students, learn new skills and content knowledge, and contribute to tools and materials that support teaching and learning. Joining InnovATEBIO gives you a chance to shape the future of bioscience workforce education.
Types of Individual memberships:
- Faculty from Colleges, High Schools, or Universities
- Student
- Alumni (Alumni are people who completed a degree or certificate from an InnovATEBIO or Bio-Link college biotechnology program.)
- Affiliate (People who work in the biotech or related industries, trade organizations, non-profit educational groups, and anyone with an interest in bioscience workforce education.)
Institutional memberships are open to:
- Colleges that have bioscience workforce oriented programs: To join InnovATEBIO as a college program, we ask that you first read about the characteristics of an InnovATEBIO program, then complete the program information form. We will use the information you provide to create a page on the InnovATEBIO site and set up memberships for your faculty.
- High school with biotech or workforce oriented bioscience programs: To have your high school join the InnovATEBIO network, please complete the high school program information form.
Institutional memberships are expected to provide updated information on an annual basis. We reserve the right to unpublish a program page if the information is not renewed or the program no longer exists.
