Division Board

The Division Board is responsible to plan Division activities, to strengthen collaborations within the European and the international microbial biotechnology community, to actively support conference and workshop organisation in its field, and to monitor the Division finances. The Board members, and their major scientific areas are listed below. The Division Board encourages others, especially younger researchers, to become involved with the organisation of Division activities.
