Dutch Biocatalysis Symposium 2020
Dutch Biocatalysis Symposium 2020: BiocatNL-2020
Organised by the Applied Biocatalysis Working group – NBV
Location: online
Date: Friday 20th November 2020
Welcome to the second BiocatNL symposium organised by the working group Applied Biocatalysis of the Dutch Biotechnology Society (NBV). Biocatalysis is an active field of research in academic research groups and biotechnology companies in the Netherlands. To promote interactions of professionals in this field and to inform a broader audience, the symposium will showcase current research across several academic research groups and a biotechnology company in the Netherlands.
The programme consists of lectures from prominent academic group leaders and young researchers. Furthermore, there will be a lecture from the company InnoSyn. Young researchers (PhD students) are invited to give a pitch talk on their research. From the pitch-talk applications, 6 presenters will be selected.
