CyanoFactory Scientific Meeting 2014

December 8-10, 2014 City Hotel Ljubljana / Slovenia

Synthetic Biology of Cyanobacteria for Fuel Production

Welcome to Ljubljana!

We are proud to host the second major scientific meeting within the FP7 collaborative research project on design, construction and demonstration of solar biofuel production using novel synthetic cell factories. After the success of the 2013 meeting in Porto we hope to have another interesting event with plenty of new research results from all the project partners as well as from invited speakers who will join us. This meeting will be organized by the Ljubljana team (Marko Dolinar, Helena Čelešnik, Marina Klemenčič) and the project coordinator (Peter Linblad, Uppsala University).

VENUE

Ljubljana meeting will be organized in the 3-star City Hotel not far from Ljubljana Old Town and Ljubljanica river. Railway station and the Airport shuttle terminal are within easy stroll. The hotel has well equipped lecture halls and offers all the essential comfort to meeting participants, including free WiFi access.
