Brussels, 26 September 2022 – Today starts the European Biotech Week 2022 (hereafter – EBW) which gathers the science community to celebrate the benefits and value that biotechnology brings to people and the planet. EuropaBio’s flagship campaign this year will take place for the 10th time inviting experts, policymakers and citizens to almost 100 events taking place across Europe.

Biotechnology and Life Sciences Associations (at national and local level), schools, universities, research centres, government institutions, companies, science museums and the media have partnered to discuss the recent developments in the field and showcase the best practices.

The EBW will be officially kicked off by EuropaBio’s online event ‘Biotechnology for society, sustainability and economies – transformative science for a changing world’ in the afternoon of the 26th of September, followed by the event ‘Innovative technologies in the EU green transition – spotlight on industrial biotechnology’ the following day and ‘At the cutting edge of biotechnology for cardiovascular diseases: A World Heart Day special edition webinar’ which take place on the 29th of September.

This year participants can choose from a high variety of events such as debates, panels, hands-on workshops, job fairs, networking events, site visits, exhibitions or big conferences which will be taking place onsite, online or in a hybrid format.
