The Himmelfahrtstagung on Bioprocess Engineering is an annual conference bringing together experts in this field to discuss the latest developments and innovations.
The meeting covers a wide range of topics related to bioprocess engineering, including novel bioprocesses, smart technologies and their combination in upstream and downstream processing, and bioprocess solutions to achieve sustainable development goals.
The conference is a great opportunity to gain access to the scientific knowledge, technologies and contacts needed to improve efficiencies in all phases of bioproduct development and manufacturing, from basic chemicals to biopharmaceuticals.
Major Topics will be:
Recent Advances in
- Upstream bioprocess development for current biopharmaceuticals
- Producing next generation of biopharmaceuticals
- Developing sustainable production processes for industrial bioeconomy
- Intensifying bioprocesses with innovative means
- Efficiently linking downstream with upstream bioprocesses
- Data science & AI for strain and bioprocess development
- Open Topic
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.

We´d like to invite you to our workshop "Novel Tools for Process Optimization". In this workshop we will focus on the importance of data and how it can be used for process optimization. We will discuss the benefits of off-gas parameters such as OUR, CER and RQ and demonstrate their application in practice.
In addition, we will present unconventional application examples, including the use of relative and absolute humidity. Finally, we will introduce you to BlueVIS, a software with almost unlimited possibilities to help you make your processes more efficient. We look forward to a productive and informative workshop with you.
