The survey reached thirty students from different teams and from several countries. The majority of participants come from academia (53.33%) and industry (30.00%).

Overall, this study shows a very positive opinion on biomanufacturing. Indeed, even if more than half of students do not feel sufficiently informed or trained on biomanufactring, the vast majority of students think that biomanufacturing presents a sustainable alternative to traditional manufacturing techniques. The survey reveals that most of the participants value that, with further research, biomanufacturing technologies will outperform traditional manufacturing techniques in terms of financial efficiency.

Though, many students deplore the facts that the connection between academia and industry in biomanufacturing research is still pretty weak and that negative public perception deters investment in biomanufacturing.

When analyzing these data, you should keep in mind that all respondents participate in iGEM competition, which suggests that these people have an opinion that is already favorable to biomanufacturing, compared to students as a whole or the general population.
