Dutch Biocatalysis Symposium 2023
Dutch Biocatalysis Symposium 2023: BiocatNL-2023
BiocatNL is organised yearly by the NBV work group Applied Biocatalysis.
Biocatalysis is an active research field in several academic research groups in the Netherlands. Also, a large number of biotechnology companies develop and/or use enzymes for their processes. To promote interactions in the field of applied biocatalysis and to inform a broader audience, the working group Applied Biocatalysis of the Dutch Biotechnology Society (NBV) is organizing the BiocatNL-2023 symposium to highlight developments in biocatalysis. Besides contributions from academia and industry, young researchers (PhD students) are invited to give a pitch talk on their research. From the pitch-talk applications, 5 presenters will be selected.
Date & location
