Overview
The Beilstein Symposia address contemporary issues in chemistry and neighboring sciences by emphasizing interdisciplinarity. Scientists from a wide range of areas – often outside chemistry – are invited to present (provoking) aspects of their work for “out of the box” discussion with the aim not only to advance science, but also to enhance interdisciplinary communication.
The European Society of Applied Biocatalysis (ESAB) takes initiatives in areas of growing scientific and industrial interest and importance in the field of applied biocatalysis and identifies key topics which may be rate-limiting in the development of scientific progress and technological prospects in applied biocatalysis and takes steps to stimulate these areas.
Many years ago, the organizers of this symosium stated that "the flood of information generated as a result of research in genomics and proteomics is often completely overwhelming", which makes it inherently difficult to use this information for analysis, confirmation, interpretation, and even to understand the experimental results and to distinguish between real findings and assumptions.
