Welcome Letter

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to Krakow, Poland, and to the 17th European Biotechnology Congress organized by the European Federation of Biotechnology.

Our last biennial meeting, held in Edinburgh in 2014, was one of our most successful Congresses on biotechnology and we hope to harness the excitement generated within the long history of this meeting, which was originally established in Switzerland in 1978.

The Congress will bring together the international scientific community and many segments of the biotech industry to provide a platform for exchanging ideas in biotechnology and its applications. It is anticipated that up to 1000 scientists, industrialists and academicians from around the world will attend this conference to share their latest discoveries and to learn about novel products and breakthroughs.

Throughout the Congress, you will be able to interact with business leaders, investors, trade exhibitors and policy makers and discuss the issues of IPR, regulatory aspects and the bioeconomy.

We look forward to an exciting meeting in July 2016 that promises great scientific debate and enjoyable social interaction. I also hope and trust that you will enjoy your visit to the historic and beautiful city of Krakow.

The preliminary programme including a list of distinguished speakers will be available soon. Registration will open in the Autumn of 2015. We look forward to receiving your abstracts for oral or poster presentations.

With best regards,

Prof. Mathias Uhlen

President EFB

Prof Tomasz Twardowski
