The conference is in line with the earlier successful Gothenburg Life Science Conferences (earlier Functional Genomics since 1998). The focus of this year´s conference is Sustainable production of fuels and chemicals and organized by
Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg as a 2 days conference, August 19-20, 2010. On August 18th a special student´s session will be held.

The conference will cover the following topics:

• Production of biofuels
• Impact of systems biology on industrial biotechnology
• Sustainable production of chemicals

In connection with the conference there will be organized a panel discussion on the impact of industrial biotechnology on the Swedish Society. Check the web-site for details on program, social events and registration.
