This annual meetings bring together around 2,000 scientists working in the life sciences. This years meeting features three plenary lecture sessions devoted to modern evolutionary biology, to molecular developmental biology and to the rapidly developing fields related to systems biology, such as network biology, functional genomics and synthetic biology.
A rich selection of topics will be addressed in 21 workshops, juxtaposing classical with less classical fields of research. Thus, workshops focusing on central themes such as cell signalling and division, chromosomal organization, genome stability, cell differentiation and pluripotency, epigenetics and mechanisms of gene regulation will be complemented by a series of sessions that will explore the new frontiers in molecular biology. These will present research devoted to the analysis on the global genetic makeup of entire bacterial communities (metagenomics), the application of molecular and computational techniques for the engineering of human-designed biological objects (synthetic biology), and the investigation of the inner working of complex genetic and metabolic networks.
Daily meet the speaker lunches, giving access to leading researchers, and poster sessions featuring up-to-the-minute research, extend the scientific programme.
Career development activities and workshops are very popular with early career scientists and early sign-up is recommended to secure a place at these.
The Conference will take place from
6th to 10th September 2010 at the Feria Valencia in Spain. The 25th EU
PVSEC will be the most important international Conference in the field
of Photovoltaics and will be at the same time the 5th World Conference
on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion.
The 5th World
Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion will unite the three most
important scientific and strategic conferences for the global PV solar
sector: the 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy
Conference and Exhibition, the 36th US IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists
Conference and the 20th Asia/Pacific PV Science and Engineering
Conference.
Meet the experts of the PV solar
branch in Valencia to discuss new trends and developments in science and
industry. Valencia will provide an excellent platform for dialogue and
information exchange across the World.
This 25th EU PVSEC will be a truly
global event which uniquely combines scientific and technological issues
from the perspective of research and development, industry, utilities,
politics, architecture and end-users.
Do you want to improve efficiency and innovation in your synthetic route design, development and optimisation?
The efficient conversion of a chemical process into a process for manufacture on tonnage scale has always been of importance in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. However, in the current economic and regulatory climate, it has become increasingly vital and challenging to do so efficiently.
At our Organic Process Research & Development Conference, you will hear detailed presentations and case studies from top international chemists. Our hand-picked programme of speakers has been put together specifically for an industrial audience. They will discuss the latest issues relating to synthetic route design, development and optimisation in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical and allied fields.
Unlike other conferences, practically all our speakers are experts from industry, which means the ideas and information you take home will be directly applicable to your own work.
The smaller numbers at our conferences create a more intimate atmosphere. You will enjoy plenty of opportunities to meet and network with speakers and fellow attendees during the reception, sit-down lunches and extended coffee breaks in a relaxed and informal environment. Together, you can explore the different strategies and tactics evolving to meet today’s challenges.
Each year, the best proposals for Symposia and other featured sessions are selected and then finalised by the Programme Committee. Our aim is to deliver an outstanding programme with the right balance of clinical relevance and scientific quality. The sessions, which involve leading experts in respiratory medicine, but also in other areas, cover the entire spectrum of research and practice in respiratory medicine, from cell and molecular biology, through clinical diagnosis and management to prevention of public health.
The 18,719 attendees of the Vienna Congress represented more than 120 different countries. During the Barcelona Congress some specific sessions will be translated simultaneously into Spanish.
This year is truly special as we will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ERS. In addition to this special occasion, 2010 is the Year of the Lung. Special scientific and social events are being planned.
The Fira de Barcelona Congress Centre plays a strategic role in the Catalan and Spanish economies as a platform for economic promotion and international projection of exhibitors. It provides excellent and modern facilities, and is easily accessible by public transport.
Barcelona is a breathtaking city. As the cradle of many cultures and a witness to major transformations, the city provides a great opportunity to explore and experience its vibrant atmosphere, architecture, culinary delights, fine wine, captivating music and passionate people.
We are honoured to bring our 2010 event to Barcelona and expect another outstanding ERS Annual Congress.
