The Int'l Symposium on Biopolymers (ISBP) is a successful series of symposia that is taking place usually every two years since the very first meeting in Toronto 1988. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 17th symposium planned for 2020 had to be postponed and was finally carried out as a series of 10 webinars (www.isbp2021.com).
This 18th edition is scheduled for September 13-16 and will be held in presence mode in the oldest city of Switzerland, Sion , and organized by University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO) and the University of Stuttgart.
ISBP2022 will focus on (bio)polymers like polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), cellulose, pullulan, cyanophycin, polylactic acid (PLA), polyisoprenes (rubbers), but is also open for bio-based polymers like PEF and will include inorganic biopolymers such as polyphosphate (polyP).
