BIOPROSP information

BIOPROSP, or the International Conference on Marine Bioprospecting, is a biennial conference on bioprospecting from cold marine environment that is held in the university town of Tromsø in Northern Norway. BIOPROSP has been organized since 2002 and has already established itself as one of Europe's top conferences in the field of marine bioprospecting. BIOPROSP covers products such as drugs, ingredients, supplements, bioprocessing,^[1] energy, green chemicals and biomaterials.^[2]^[3]

The economical outcome of R&D in marine biotechnology is expected to generate a 10% annual growth, as assessed by Blue Growth H2020. BIOPROSP Conference aims at bringing together scientists and industry representatives and addressing the issue of translating basic research into applied research on possible industrial applications.^[4]^[5]
