The conference, hosted in Heidelberg (June, 3-4), covered the entire chain of innovation, from the laboratory to the field implementation: approaches that make optimal use of the evolutionarily optimized biological systems, like algae and plants, as well as novel synthetic biology solutions for CO2 fixation and conversion to value-added chemicals. The role of fundamental molecular biology in catalyzing innovation was one of the main focus areas for discussion. Partners from MPI-TM attended the event with posters and talks.
