We are pleased to announce the upcoming edition of the Green Deal Biotechnology conference, organized by the EFB Environmental Biotechnology Division. The event will take place on 26-28 May 2025 in Aveiro, Portugal.

This conference will cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Innovative solutions in soil bioremediation and wastewater treatment
• Biotechnological valorization of marine and other natural resources
• Sustainability of environmental biotechnology solutions
• Biotechnological approaches to nutrient cycling balances
• Stepping-up biotechnological approaches via industrial symbiosis
• AI and genome editing - friends or foes in environmental biotechnology?

The meeting will bring together scientists and professionals from academia and various sectors of industry sharing the common interest in resource recovery and environmental biotechnology for development of new technologies supporting bioeconomy.

The programme strongly takes into account the diversity and different stages of researchers' career development. For that reason, keynote lectures by leading scientists will be mixed with talks and shorter early career researcher presentations selected from submitted abstracts as well as with flash poster presentations.

We are looking forward to meeting all of you next year in Aveiro!
