We are pleased to welcome you to our seminar series “Virus-based therapies – from engineering to process development” at the Virus-based therapies branch of the Fraunhofer IGB in Biberach. We will offer monthly seminars on various aspects of virus-based therapies. It is our pleasure to have renowned experts share their insights into the various aspects of virus-based therapies.

In this webinar series, you will gain first-hand insights into cutting-edge research and real-world industry applications across three key domains: Biointelligence in smart production systems, in food, nutrition and agriculture, and in personalised health – complemented by perspectives on innovation management, technology strategy and sustainable transformation. Fraunhofer IGB will be represented on the following days with the following sessions: November 11, 2026 Health: Perspectives in Biopharma with Prof. Dr. Steffen Rupp | November 18, 2026 Smart Biorefineries and Circular Economy: Towards Intelligent Biorefineries with Dr.-Ing.

With the update of its Bioeconomy Strategy, the state government of Baden-Württemberg has renewed its ongoing commitment. Bioeconomy is regarded as one of the key drivers of innovation, as it creates future-proof jobs and new approaches to food supply and the provision of materials, products, and energy. On December 9, Dr. Christine Rasche will moderate »Forum 3: Urban Biorefineries: Rethinking Waste and Residual Materials as Resources«. On December 10, Dr.-Ing. Ursula Schließmann will moderate »Forum 16: Water as a Resource for a Successful Transition to the Bioeconomy« and will give a presentation on »Cross-Sector Water Reuse and Digital Control as Levers for Independence and Competitiveness«. Also in the same forum, Marc Beckett will present »Closing Water and Nutrient Cycles in Agriculture – Experiences from Hypowave+«. Both sessions will be held in German.
