The Symposium will be held in Warsaw, Poland from October 23rd to October 25th 2014 at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The aim of our interdisciplinary meeting is to bring together specialists of white biotechnology and coil a system of collaborative research considering the experience of chemists, biochemists, biotechnologists and microbiologists, especially for practical applications. The programme of the Symposium will comprise full lectures (45 or 30 min.), oral communications (15 min.) and poster presentations. The official language of the Symposium is English. We wish to encourage young chemists to attend the Symposium and to present their own research on the special Young Scientists Session. The best contributions will be awarded. We consider active participation of young scientists to be the meeting's greatest asset.
