The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) has
announced the Engineering Biology for Environmental Applications Doctoral
Focal Award (ENGBIO4ENV), a first-of-its-kind training programme in the UK.
Part of the Cranfield University-led UKRI Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre, the ENGBIO4ENV programme has been designed to take the
transformative advances made in engineering biology over the last few years
and translate them into practical, real-world solutions.
The programme will do that by adopting a systems-level approach rather than
focusing on isolated disciplines. This will equip researchers with the
interdisciplinary skills needed to transition between academia, industry and
government.
ENGBIO4ENV will train 52 doctoral candidates to tackle these key areas:
Frederic Coulon, Professor of Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology at
Cranfield University, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for
early-career researchers to make an impact in an area where the UK has a
clear skills gap to fill.
“The ENGBIO4ENV programme has been co-designed by 25 industry and Government
partners to make sure that graduates have the skills needed to contribute in
whatever area they choose. The programme goes far beyond a traditional PhD
and also offers a variety of tailored career development activities, which
will aid all students in their transition between studying and the world of
work.”
Professor Anne Ferguson-Smith, BBSRC Executive Chair, said: “Through these
investments, UKRI is strengthening the UK’s leadership in critical
technologies while creating meaningful opportunities for businesses,
researchers and regions across the country. The industrial doctoral
landscape awards and doctoral focal awards will equip a new generation of
talented researchers with the skills to drive innovation, support
high-growth sectors and improve lives.”
The ENGBIO4ENV programme also includes researchers from
Brunel University of London, Newcastle University, the University of Glasgow
and the University of Southampton. It is further supported by the National
Measurement Laboratory and the National Physical Laboratory. With global
partnerships in the USA, Japan, Spain, Brazil, and Ireland, ENGBIO4ENV will
enable the UK to share its expertise, adopt international best practices,
and sustain its leadership in engineering biology and environmental
biotechnology while applying those areas to tackle environmental challenges.
The ENGBIO4ENV doctoral focal award is supported through the UKRI
Engineering Biology initiative, with the Natural Environment Research
Council acting as the direct sponsoring and administering council for this
award.

The first estimates of euro area balance showed a €18.4 bn surplus in trade in goods with the rest of the world in October 2025, compared with + €7.1 bn in October 2024.
The euro area exports of goods to the rest of the world in October 2025 were €258.0 bn, an increase of 1.0% compared with October 2024 (€255.5 bn).
Imports from the rest of the world stood at €239.6 bn, a fall of 3.6% compared with October 2024 (€248.4 bn).
In October 2025, the euro area balance remained stable compared to September 2025, with the overall surplus remaining at €18.4 bn. Although the surplus of chemicals and related products decreased from €28.5 bn in September 2025 to €18.4 bn in October 2025, improvements in other sectors helped maintain the overall balance.
Compared to October 2024, the euro area balance increased by €11.3 bn. This positive change was primarily driven by significant improvements in the energy sector, where the deficit decreased from €-24.7 billion in October 2024 to €-17.0 bn in October 2025.
In January to October 2025, the euro area recorded a surplus of €144.6 bn, compared with €141.4 bn in January-October 2024.
The euro area exports of goods to the rest of the world rose to €2 462.7 bn (an increase of 2.9% compared with January-October 2024), and imports rose to €2 318.1 bn (an increase of 3.0% compared with January-October 2024).
Intra-euro area trade rose to €2 199.0 bn in January-October 2025, up by 1.6% compared with January-October 2024.

The EU balance showed a €14.7 bn surplus in trade in goods with the rest of the world in October 2025, compared with +€3.1 bn in October 2024.
The extra-EU exports of goods in October 2025 were €227.5 billion, down by 0.6% compared with October 2024 (€228.9 bn).
Imports from the rest of the world stood at €212.8 bn, down by 5.8% compared with October 2024 (€225.8 bn).
In October 2025, the EU balance showed a decline compared to September 2025, with the overall surplus decreasing from €15.4 bn to €14.7 bn. This change was primarily driven by a reduction in the chemicals and related products surplus, which fell from €26.5 bn in September 2025 to €16.4 bn in October 2025. However, the decline in the overall balance was partially mitigated by reductions in the deficits for both energy (from €-23.2 bn to €-19.9 bn) and other manufactured goods (from €-5.0 bn to €-0.5 bn).
Compared to October 2024, the EU balance improved by €11.6 bn. This positive change was largely attributed to the reduction in deficit for energy products, which decreased from €-28.7 bn in October 2024 to €-19.9 bn in October 2025, and other manufactured goods, which decreased from €-4.4 to €-0.5.
In January to October 2025, the EU recorded a surplus of €116.7 bn, compared with €116.3 bn in January-October 2024.
The extra-EU exports of goods rose to €2 215.3 bn (an increase of 2.6% compared with January-October 2024), and imports rose to €2 098.6 bn (an increase of 2.8% compared with January-October 2024).
Intra-EU trade rose to €3 465.6 bn in January-October 2025, +2.3% compared with January-October 2024.

This News Release is based on information transmitted by Member States to Eurostat before 11 Dec 2025 figures are provisional. For more details, see information on data.
Statistics on trade in goods are transmitted monthly by the Member States, in accordance with the standard set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197. For each reference month, Member States must compile statistics covering their total extra- and intra-EU trade by using estimates, where necessary. These data are available within 40 days after the end of the reference month, enabling euro area and EU aggregates to be disseminated within around 46 days.
Member States provide Eurostat with raw data, which are adjusted for calendar and seasonal effects by Eurostat. The European aggregates are computed with the indirect approach (by Member States) for total imports and exports, which guarantees additivity between the aggregate and its respective components. The estimation of seasonally adjusted data is based on the Tramo-Seats procedure, which is available in the software JDemetra+.
Data are broken down by broad categories of products as defined by the one-digit codes of the Standard international trade classification (SITC).
The euro area (EA20) includes Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland.
The European Union (EU27) includes Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden.
