What will happen in BIoVIsion 2009

Nobel Laureates, French Ministers and CEOs are among those participating in BioVision 2009. Over the 4 days, discussions and debates will follow two main tracks: Life Sciences and Urbanization, and Advances in Life Sciences.

Density, water shortages and lack of sanitation are just some of the big problems our cities will be plagued with in the coming years, problems we must find solutions for. This is where BioVision comes in. BioVision’s life Sciences & Urbanization debates will contest the challenges involved in the transition towards a predominantly urban world population.

The other track, Advances in Life Sciences, will investigate and question how recent accomplishments in Life Sciences and related technologies, can be of great help in the future. As we create more and more manmade problems in our environment, it will become necessary to create more innovative manmade solutions.

BioVision is the premier forum for discussing the important role Life Sciences play in dealing with
the current and future challenges human society faces.
