The ISY is held every four years as an activity of the International Commission for Yeasts (ICY) to foster interest in the science and technology of Yeasts. As a symposium with a general mission, it aims to promote interaction between scientists working in the many specialised aspects of yeast biology and technology. 10th International Biotechnology Symposium (10IBS) The ABA recently sponsored two major international meetings, the 10th International Biotechnology Symposium and the 9th International Symposium on Yeast (10th IBS/9th ISY). This was by far the largest activity ever undertaken by the ABA and it is a credit to all concerned that it was a success, both from the scientific and financial viewpoints. Symposium I - Frontiers in Polypeptide Production Symposium IV - Integrated Bioprocesses Symposium V - Downstream Processing Symposium VII - Policy Issues in Biotechnology Copyright 1997 Australian Biotechnology Association Ltd
