EFB is delighted to invite to the meeting "From CO2 to Materials with the Power of Microbes" on May 11th and 12th 2022. To allow easy access in the light of the ongoing pandemic restrictions, the conference will be performed fully online.
1. Microbial assimilation of C1 substrates (CO2, methanol, formate, syngas)
2. Microbial conversion of C1 substrates to materials (fuels, chemicals, polymers)
3. Technologies to provide and convert C1 substrates and scaling-up (e.g. biochemical engineering approaches)
The meeting will bring together partners from academia and industry sharing the common interest to overcome global challenges on C1 emissions by harnessing the power of microbial metabolism.
The format is designed to mix international guest lectures by prestigious scientists with shorter presentations by early career researchers. The program will be a composition of keynote, invited lectures, and short talks (selected from abstracts) making use of live and pre-recorded presentations. Furthermore, a poster session will be organized to facilitate lively discussions. Despite using an online platform, the organizers are keen of enabling a vivid scientific atmosphere encouraging easy exchange with speakers and poster presenters.
“From CO2 to Materials” is jointly organized by the three EFB divisions Microbial Biotechnology, Biobased Materials, and Bioengineering and Bioprocessing together with the Asian Federation of Biotechnology, Systems and Synthetic Biotechnology Division.
In collaboration with:
