"The 25th Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals
was held in Breckenridge, CO, May 4–7, 2003. Over 450 attendees helped
underscore the growing importance of bioenergy and a biobased economy
during this special Silver Anniversary Symposium. Forty states and
twenty-three countries were represented at the Symposium, with over
40% of the attendees from industry, almost 40% from universities and
colleges, and the remainder from government agencies and laboratories.
The robust participation and sponsorship by industry highlights the relevancy
and importance of this Symposium.
While improving the economics of producing fuels and chemicals is
vital to many industrial sectors, the ability to do so in a sustainable and
environmentally responsible manner is becoming increasingly important.
The program for the 25th Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and
Chemicals was designed to deliver the latest research breakthroughs and
results in biotechnology that stimulate such improvements. The technical
focus of Symposium was evident at each session, as evolutionary as well
as revolutionary research findings were revealed. The eight technical sessions
contained 52 oral presentations and we had 272 poster presentations.
Whether one represented the industrial, academic, or government sector,
each was invited to participate in this stimulating exchange of information
and ideas. Valuable opportunities for productive interactions with colleagues,
both from a national and international perspective, were evident
throughout the meeting." From Introduction.
