6th CIRP Conference on BioManufacturing – BioM 2024
The 6th CIRP Conference on BioManufacturing - BioM 2024, held in Dresden, Germany, from June 11th to 13th, 2024, underlined its position as the premier global platform for advancements in biomanufacturing research and development. Themed "Future Production. Driven by Nature.", the conference attracted over 120 participants from 17 countries, fostering a productive exchange of knowledge and ideas between leading scientists, engineers, and industry representatives.
Over three days, 16 sessions made it possible to delve into a wide range of topics The keynote and technical sessions were expertly chaired by CIRP members, ensuring focused and productive discussions.
A highlight of the program was the series of renowned CIRP keynote speakers. Featuring presentations from the CIRP President Prof. Fengzhou Fang and seven esteemed CIRP Fellows, plus Dr. Masahiko Mori, CIRP Fellow and CEO of DMG MORI Group, Japan, the keynotes offered a unique opportunity to gain insights from the cutting edge of biomanufacturing research. These inspiring presentations not only shed light on the current state of the art, but also paved the way for future innovations, sparked lively discussions and prepared the ground for new developments.
The conference boasted a 75-member international scientific committee, comprised of highly reputable and recognized researchers including many CIRP members. Furthermore, the active participation of CIRP Fellows enriched the discussions. This unique mix of established experts and emerging researchers fostered a stimulating environment for collaboration and mutual inspiration.
The BioM 2024 conference chairmen would like to thank the International Academy for Production Engineering CIRP for the sponsorship and DMG MORI for the co-sponsorship of 6th CIRP BioM 2024.
