We are looking forward to seeing you in Kraków at the 8th EUROBIOTECH congress, which will be held from 20 to 22 June 2022.

Conferences were and will be the best way to present results, exchange ideas, and plan collaboration. Therefore, after two years of break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we organize the classical meeting, allowing face-to-face (with reasonable distance) contact of scientists. The Conference will be held in the International Exhibition and Convention Centre EXPO Krakow.

At the moment, our thoughts are particularly with the Ukrainian people, bravely fighting against criminal and cruel Russian aggression. We are sure that Ukraine will defeat the enemy and we will be able to host Ukrainian scientists and students. Researchers, PhD students and students from Ukraine, living currently also in other countries, are more than welcome to attend the Eurobiotech Congress and can register without paying an conference fee. Dear Friends, you will be the most welcomed guests!

During the two- and half-day meeting, plenary sessions and parallel symposia will be organized on the major aspects of medical biotechnology, as well as plant and industrial biotechnology.

Therefore, we warmly invite researchers and students working in all fields of biotechnology. The meeting of the entire biotechnological society is particularly important after such a long break.

We invite colleagues interested in stem cell biology, gene therapy, and drug discovery. We will discuss modern tools used for genetic engineering, such as gene editing and gene transfer, basic and translational research in stem cell biology, and new methods of disease modelling and drug research, including the search for vaccines against the coronavirus. A significant part of the congress will be devoted to gene editing aspects in plant biotechnology.

In addition to the stationary meeting, we are also planning two sessions in Polish. One of them will focus on cell and gene therapies. The second, devoted to COVID-19, will end our congress.

We do hope that the timely subject of our congress, as well as the fantastic location in the King’s City of Kraków, will convince you to actively participate in the 8th EUROBIOTECH congress.
