A vital tool in proceeding with negotiations with potential member states in establishing ISBE is the publication of a business plan. This document enables the project to detail the outcome of its considerations in the preparatory phase in identifying a governance and legal structure for its legal phase together with a planned timetable for its realisation. ISBE therefore intended that at the end of the preparatory phase it would publish the business plan that would include a summary of progress across all Work packages, and outline its intention to develop ISBE from that point. Therefore this activity assigned to WP11, required commitment from many partners across all work packages to ensure timely delivery and necessary content. A key element of this document was to state plans to develop ISBE during interim phase in the 2-3 years immediately following the end of the preparatory phase. It was clear that, as with other ESFRI's this time would be required to conclude legal discussions and negotiations of the required agreements, and assess and conclude agreements with institutions forming components of ISBE. In July 2014 project partners decided to also develop an "ISBE business case" in advance of the end of preparatory phase to explain publically the proposed plans. This document provided early public sight of the structure, functions and funding model for the infrastructure. The business case was published on the ISBE website in November 2014. This was in large part to set out the conditions for achieving maturity that could serve as a basis for negotiations with stakeholders (scientific, industrial and governmental), in order to facilitate implementation during 2015. Following this, and in keeping with best project management practice, ISBE saw the need to maintain its business case as a living document, to be updated and revised as the project continued its development. Therefore the document was updated as the ISBE business plan in July 2015. This document also encompasses developments during the crucial ...

This report provides the vision and direction for supporting a world-leading synthetic biology community in the UK. Produced by an independent panel of experts for the government's Department for Business Innovation and Skills, it sets out a shared vision for realising the potential of synthetic biology in the UK. The roadmap aims to deliver a synthetic biology sector that is cutting edge; economically vibrant, diverse and sustainable; and of clear public benefit. Recommendations in the roadmap also provide a compass-bearing for the synthetic biology community, helping to align interests towards future growth opportunities, whilst identifying the resources and support needed to accelerate progress in the shorter term.

This document is a report on a portfolio of case/feasibility studies on the ISBE concept. The main objectives of this report are as following: To monitor, assess and where relevant, identify and foster the implementation of case studies, testing whether ISBE methodologies work Compilation and translation of success stories in lay language in the field of the life sciences (i.e. from gene to ecosystems, including, e.g. the Virtual Patient, production of new pharmaceuticals, novel animal and plant breeding systems, industrial production of microbe and algae-based chemicals, etc.). Prepare the science case arguments and evidence to elucidate governments, policy-makers, funders and industry
