This symposium will be a joint discussion platform in the field of biocatalysis to increase the impact of research, boosting the future implementation of investigation into industrial processes. The conference aims specifically for a high industry attendance and a high involvement of early-career, young researchers to stimulate discussions on their varying points of view. 

All content will be streamed and recorded to allow registered participants to watch the talks. The online format aims to improve inclusion, reduce the symposium’s carbon footprint  and allow more early stage researchers to share their most front running research in biocatalysis.
