BDC RESIDENCIES
The Basque Biodesign Center's residency programme promotes projects that combine technology, biodesign, graphics, textile design, digital fabrication and new media. It seeks to explore their hybridisations and promote research and production through collaborative residencies.
The residencies focus on imagining future scenarios linked to the bioeconomy, encouraging the creation of concepts and prototypes. Residents have access to the centre's tools and machinery, with technical and teaching support to develop their projects.
In addition, the programme incorporates the BDC Model, which includes training, mentoring and a residency space where participants can experiment and materialise their ideas.
