Scope of the Conference PDF Print E-mail

The biofilm mode of growth is an established feature of microbial communities in every habitat. As a consequence microbial biofilm systems are studied by many scientific disciplines (microbiology, ecology, limnology, biotechnology, engineering, medical microbiology) and across diverse research fields (environment, industry, medicine). The objective of the meeting is to foster discussion and exchange of methods and ideas across the various research areas.

The conference will be a continuation of two previous international European biofilm meetings held in Osnabrück (2004) and Leipzig (2006). The aim of the conference series is to provide a European platform for biofilm research activities and to create an interface to biofilm research in other countries.
