Division Board

The Division Board is keen to welcome new members. It especially seeks to recruit younger scientists ready to make their debut on the international stage; or individuals who are keen to organise an activity such as a workshop or specialist symposium, or to contribute to the EFB European Congresses of Biotechnology. The current membership, and their responsibilities, are listed below. The Division co-Chairs (Marjan de Mey and Neil Dixon) would be pleased to hear from others who are keen to become involved in helping with the organisation of Division activities.

If you would like to be part of the Division, if you have an idea for a new meeting in an area of bioengineering or bioprocessing, would like to assist in Division activities or for any other enquiries, please contact us:

or Division co-Chairs:

The Division is governed by a Division Board, comprising:

  • A chair and a secretary (or two co-chairs, each of whom also act as co-secretaries);
  • A treasurer;
  • An industrial liaison manager;
  • and a number of other members without title.

In addition, there is a Division Advisory Board, the function of which is to offer advice and support to the members of the Division Board.

The Division Board will meet at least once a year.

The Division Board will be elected annually at the AGM. Nominations for members of the Division Board will be held 1 month before the AGM.

The Division will organise events such as meetings and conferences. The major features of these activities are:

  • They are international in scope and focused specifically on Europe;
  • They are interdisciplinary in nature, encompassing any area within the fields of bioengineering and bioprocessing;
  • They promote participation from researchers, scientists and engineers at all career stages; and
  • They involve all sectors such as academia, industry, government agencies and research institutes.

Funds raised by the Division will be used to fund Division activities and pay Division management expenses.
