Dear colleagues,

I like to warmly invite you to attend the 17th ISBR Symposium (ISBR 2025) from 2 to 6 November 2025 in the scenic city of Ghent, Belgium, at the Ghent ICC. This in-person symposium will feature scientific exchange between the world’s leading experts on diverse sustainable bio-innovation, biotechnology and biosafety topics.

We are currently developing the scientific program and will offer a mix of plenary sessions as well as a diverse set of parallel sessions and workshops. Please check the program page for the current stage of program development and the keynote and plenary speakers that have already confirmed their participation.

Note that you can still make contribution to the program by submitting abstracts for oral or poster presentations. Please make use of it and help us to make the symposium a successful event for all participating.

Hope to see you in person in the beautiful town of Ghent in November.

Dr. Joerg Romeis
ISBR President
