Research in biology and chemistry is increasingly interconnected around key areas and major societal challenges such as health, food security, new sources of energy, environment, and adaptive systems. This convergence is found in the context of fundamental approaches as in innovation towards the development of new technological and scientific platforms, and industrial applications. Strasbourg, the Grand-Est Region, and more widely the TriRhena region have a long tradition of excellence in the disciplines of chemistry and biology with many players involved in the chemistry‐biology interface.
It is essential for these players to come together for the purpose of promoting dialogue and exchanging ideas to better understand the objectives of potential partners and to strengthen the establishment of collaborations, which in turn should foster the development of national and European projects, and promote employment in the Grand-Est and TriRhena Regions and their neighboring areas.
The BioChem Forum is set up to facilitate these exchanges between researchers, industry partners and students.
