Review of the German-Russian Forum Biotechnology 2013

The German-Russian Forum Biotechnology 2013 was jointly organised by the East-West-Science Centre at Kassel University (German Coordinator of the German-Russian Network Biotechnology), the A.N. Bach Institute of Biochemistry Moscow (Russian Coordinator), and BioCon Valley® GmbH Greifswald. The meeting took place in Rostock from 4-5 June.

60 scientists and industry representatives from both countries presented their current research and technology. A study tour to the Leibniz Institute Farm Animals (Dummerstorf), the Miltenyi Biotec GmbH (Teterow) and the Biomedical Research Centre (Rostock) gave a strong impression of the different sectors of the biotechnology cluster in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In total more than 100 representatives from science, business and administration participated in the Forum.

Current challenges in both countries include the control of nosocomial infections in hospitals like MRSA, biomass material use or conversion to bioenergy. Concerning these topics some best practice examples of cooperation were presented at the conference: Due to the Biotech network activities, BioCon Valley established sustainable contacts to the State Medical Academy of Smolensk regarding cooperation in the field of microbiology and multi-resistant hospital strains. In the area of bioenergy the German Biomass Research Centre (DBFZ) Leipzig built a cooperation with Russian institutions in Kazan, Orel, and Nizhny Novgorod during the Forum 2012 in Kazan, which lead to a joint project application in the funding program of the 'National Research Strategy BioEconomy 2030' of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

The Forum in Rostock offered participants the opportunity to intensify such cooperations and to establish new contacts. Several participants from Russia used their visit to Germany for additional visits to institutions with which they had established contacts due to the activities of the Network.
