Engineered microbial systems have a crucial role to play in the development of sustainable technologies for the 21st century. The solution, ecology-based design of engineered biological systems, is urgently needed. This meeting will unite disciplines by integrating ecological theory with microbiology and engineering demands. With a focus on modelling from genome- to systems-scale, we can accelerate progress in environmental biotechnology.Speaker abstracts will be available closer to the meeting. Recorded audio of the presentations will be available on this page after the meeting has taken place.

Poster session

There will be a poster session at 17:00 on Monday 20 April. If you wish to apply to present a poster, please submit your poster abstract by Friday 21 February to the Scientific Programmes team with the subject line "Poster submission: Microbial ecology for engineering biology". Please note all abstracts should be approximately 200 words and must be in the third person. The abstract should be Word format and include the affiliation of all poster authors.

Please note that places are limited and posters are selected at the scientific organisers' discretion. Poster abstracts will only be considered if the presenter is registered to attend the meeting.
