Conference introduction:
The Dutch Biotechnology Association (NBV) is pleased to host the two longest-running biotechnology conferences, ECB2024 and IBS2024, at their annual meeting, NBC-24, in the Netherlands.
Since 1960, IBS2024 has been a major event organised by the biotechnology sub-division of IUPAC, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
ECB2024 is the 19th conference being organised by the European Federation of Biotechnology.
The Organising Committee extends a special welcome to our colleagues from the Asian Federation of Biotechnology. Combining three major biotechnology events in this way has attracted leading experts from across the world to present Plenary Lectures and Keynote presentations across 30 symposia.
We will honour, at no additional cost, registration fees paid for the postponed 2020, 2021, and 2022 conferences. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us through the following link: [email protected].
The over-arching theme for the 2024 conference will be “Grand Challenges for Biotechnology: Health; Food Security; and Global Warming”. Meeting these challenges will require close cooperation between industries, academia, research institutes, and national governments. The scientific programme will therefore focus on how to translate front-line research into commercially viable applications.
Though small in surface area, the Netherlands is a major player in biotechnology. Its success is based on a strong academic backbone, an entrepreneurial spirit, a remarkable talent for organization, and a natural ability to cooperate.
In addition to daily plenary lectures and five streams of morning and afternoon symposia, the scientific programme will include a trade exhibition and presentations by our sponsors. In line with the IBS and ECB tradition, we will promote the participation of young scientists by encouraging them to submit their original work to be considered for presentation as short talks, on flash posters, or on posters.
We warmly welcome your participation and look forward to meeting you in Rotterdam.
