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.
Here you will find the conference programme
The online lecture programme with the abstracts is available here (for registered persons only)
The poster programme is listed here. The poster party will take place on Monday, 15 May 2023 at 6:15 p.m. The 3 bestposters will be awarded by Stephan Freyer, BASF SE, on Wednesday, 17 May 2023, at 9:00 a.m.

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.
