ESIB 2019: ‘Next generation bioproduction’

On 18-20 November 2019, around 400 participants from academia and industry working on industrial biotechnology and bio-economy applications gathered at the ESIB (European Summit of Industrial Biotechnology) conference in Graz, Austria.

This years theme was ‘Next generation bioproduction’, to discuss the future of bioproduction from a scientific and industrial perspective with a focus on mainly two topics:

• Bioproduction in the Sense of Bioeconomy
• Advances in Biomanufacturing and Upcoming Biopharmaceuticals

What was in it for MicrobiomeSupport?
During the event, there was a microbiome session highlighting the importance of microbiome applications in a sustainable bio-economy. On top of that, MicrobiomeSupport was represented at the poster sessions and the ‘Science Flash’, where our coordinator Angela Sessitsch gave a 3-minute presentation about the project. Also, MicrobiomeSupport partner Michael Schloter gave a presentation during the conference. The poster sessions and presentations were very well received by participants being interested to join the project and project activities!
