Submit your Poster abstrach until 3 april 2023
Novel production routes and processes for bio-pharmaceuticals and industrial bioeconomy is the topic for the next Himmelfahrtstagung 2023, the most important meeting for bioprocess and biochemical engineers in Germany. Submit your paper now and join experts from industry, universities and research organizations in discussing the latest scientific findings in bioprocess development.
At the Himmelfahrtstagung 2023 we will take a closer look at Red and White Biotechnology and discuss what the two disciplines have in common, where they differ and what they can learn from each other.
Major Topics will be:
Noteworthy, the ‘Himmelfahrtstagung’ also serves as a platform for young scientists to present their results to the scientific community. As such, young researches are invited to submit their work to the committee for getting the chance of presentation, irrespective of the topic of the conference.
The Industrial Bioprocess Award will be awarded as part of the Himmelfahrtstagung.
With effect from 1st January 2023 we adjust our fees. In addition to general price increases, we are thus also taking into account the increased costs for energy and services. Due to the price adjustment we can offer you our events in the usual high quality.

The ultimate goal of metabolic and biochemical engineering is to create novel products and bioprocesses for commercialization. Whereas scientific and technical aspects are typical matters of training programs in universities, the sensitive steps of launching a product and process, which includes transferring technology from labs to production sites, are rarely addressed. This workshop will deal with the real process development and implementation of the key cephalosporin antibiotic intermediate 7-ACA from scratch up to a level > 1000 tons per year. Cephalosporin C is produced by fermentation, purified by large scale chromatography and the side-chain removed by enzymatic cleavage. The workshop will address the entire value-chain from fermentation, downstream-processing, enzyme development, purification and immobilization as well final cleavage conditions, product purification and isolation as well as environmental issues and the development of a sustainable bioprocess. Students will learn what the key questions are and how actions should be structured to make the novel product / process a success.

Preparation of a Poster
As a major guideline it is proposed to make the poster intelligible in itself, even in the absence of the author. It is suggested to divide the content of each poster into introduction, results and conclusion, with a summary listing the pertinent results and conclusion.
The poster should be legible from a distance of 2-3 meters. Standard size for posters is 0.85 x 1.2 m (DIN A0 German Standard) vertically oriented. Therefore, please find the following specifications:
The posters will be shown throughout the whole conference. Please hang up your poster at the beginning of the meeting on 15 May 2023.
Please inform us if the presenting author changes. One registered author per poster is mandatory, posters for which no registered author is present will be removed from the program.
