Working on the synthetic biology of biofuels?

Several sessions for the meeting have been over-subscribed, with more requests for oral presentations than can be included in an already packed programme. However, there remains an opportunity for one group working on the synthetic biology of biofuel production to present their work orally on Wednesday morning, 8th February (15-minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions and discussion). If you wish to offer a presentation for this slot, please contact Tim Overton immediately:

Scholarships for students or young post-doctoral scientists.

There are still four scholarships of €200 available to decrease the registration fee for graduate students or young scientists to attend the meeting. These are available for students or young scientists working in the same institution as anyone who has paid the normal registration fee (€395 for academia; €495 for industrialists whose company is not an EFB Institutional Member).
