International Algae Congress in Amsterdam

Following the success of the first Dutch Algae Congress which took place in the Netherlands on the 27th of May of this year, the organisers are pleased to announce an international successor of this congress to take place in Amsterdam later this year.

Various kinds of topics will be discussed during the six congress sessions, such as science, production, processing and applications regarding the algae industry. All sessions will be chaired by
Dr. Ir. Aalt Dijkhuizen, Chairmman Executive Board of Wageningen University, an authority in the field of algae. During the sessions and breaks there will be sufficient time to interact and network with fellow professionals with whom one can exchange ideas and visions on the algae sector. The table tops and poster panels during the concurrent trade show will surely offer added value.
Hereby a selection of presenters who will attend the International Algae Congress:

• Prof. R. Wijffels, Wageningen University & Research Centre, The Netherlands
