ECB2026: where biotechnology becomes Europe’s blueprint for the future

Biotechnology is no longer a collection of specialist disciplines evolving in parallel. It is becoming something broader, more connected, and far more consequential: a foundational technology shaping how Europe feeds itself, heals itself, powers itself, and sustains its environment.

Abstract submission deadline approaching for PYFF9 in Valencia

The Conference on Physiology of Yeasts and Filamentous Fungi (PYFF) is a leading international scientific event held every three years, bringing together researchers from academia and industry working on the physiology, metabolism, and genetics of yeasts and filamentous fungi, as well as their biotechnological applications. Since its first edition in 2001 in Denmark, PYFF has provided a key platform for scientific exchange and collaboration in fungal biology.

Upcoming meetings: Executive Board and General Assembly on 28 June.

The next EFB Executive Board meeting and General Assembly will take place in person on Sunday, 28 June, in Antwerp, Belgium.
