Invitation Letter


Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to Kraków,

Poland, and to the 17th European Biotechnology Congress. The Congress is organized by the

European Federation of Biotechnology.

Our last biennial meeting, held in Edinburgh in 2014, was one of our most successful congresses

on biotechnology and we hope to harness the excitement generated within the long history of this

meeting, which was originally established in Barcelona in the 1980s.

The Congress will bring together the international scientific community and many segments of

the biotech industry to provide a platform for exchanging ideas in biotechnology and its

applications. It is anticipated that up to 1000 researchers, industrialists and academicians from

around the world will attend this conference to share the latest findings and to learn about novel

products and breakthroughs.

The Congress has been designed to provide an innovative and comprehensive overview of

biotechnology. A focus will be given to major research advances including synthetic and systems

biology, industrial biotechnology, environmental biotechnology and many more.

Throughout the Congress, you will be able to interact with business leaders, investors, and policy

makers and discuss the issues of IPR, regulatory aspects and the bioeconomy.

We look forward to an exciting meeting that promises great scientific debate and enjoyable social

interaction. We also hope and trust that you will enjoy your visit to the historic and beautiful city of

Krakow, in July 2016.

The preliminary programme will be available soon. Please find more information on

www.ecb2016.com. The list of distinguished speakers and informative sessions will be available

soon.

Registration will be open in the autumn of 2015 and we look forward to receiving your abstracts

for oral or poster presentations. Please visit: www.ecb2016.com

With best regards,

Prof. Mathias Uhlen Prof. Tomasz Twardowski President EFB President Local Hosting Committee-ECB2016

Testimonials / Sponsors and Exhibitors at ECB2014


‘A very engaging conference linking the

latest University thinking with the Industry

practitioners’ (Unilever)

‘Thank you very much for the great

organization of the conference and

exhibition. Your support and cooperation

was outstanding, before the event as well as

onsite. ECB provided a great platform for us

to interact with valued existing customers

and to make new connections. The congress

was a fantastic setting for us to meet with

numerous people in the industry’

(Eppendorf AG)

‘beòcarta Ltd. exhibited at the 2014 European Congress of Biotechnology at Edinburgh (Scotland, UK). This was a particular good meeting for the company and we made useful contacts both with academia and the commercial sector. The mix of delegates was ideal for a biotech company looking to find new business leads and strategic options for new types of collaborations. The opportunity to hear of new and exciting research in areas relevant to Industrial Biotechnology – and to discuss results face to face with presenters - was particularly welcome’ (beòcarta Ltd)

‘For MIRRI (Microbial Resource Research

Infrastructure), a developing pan-European

infrastructure providing microbial resources,

data and expertise, the exhibition at the ECB

2014 was successfully used to introduce

what we will offer to our users. During

ECB2014 new contacts have been

established and the dialogue with

stakeholders from a broad range of microbial

applications has been intensified’ (MIRRI)

‘It was a great opportunity for BGene to

participate in the ECB2014 in Edinburgh as

an exhibitor. We have been able to meet

several potential partners or clients for our

start-up, but we have also heard very

interesting oral presentations from excellent

and well-known researchers in the field of

Biotechnology, such as Jay Keasling from

Berkley, USA’ (BGene)

‘As one of the key conferences, the 16th

ECB in 2014 had attracted a lot of

participants and had been a great

opportunity for us to display the Hamilton

brand and products. The superb and

interesting program met the industries

current topics. The conference was very well

organised and the level of support and

responsiveness by the organiser was

excellent. I can recommend this event to

either participate as delegate or exhibitor’

(HAMILTON Laboratory & Sensors)
