October 08, 2025 - BioScience Park Leiden, Netherlands
We are excited to invite you to the 4th Learn & Connect Seminar, taking place on October 8, 2025, at the Biopartner Center in Leiden, from 9:00 to 19:00.
This full-day seminar offers a valuable platform for professionals, researchers, and innovators to engage in open, science-driven discussions focused on the future of bioprocessing. With minimal commercial influence, the event encourages meaningful exchange of knowledge and ideas that drive progress in the field.
In this edition of the Learn & Connect seminar, we are excited to collaborate with the Biotech Training Facility (BTF) in Leiden. As part of the program, attendees will have the unique opportunity to visit the state-of-the-art BTF facility, where they will receive a live demonstration of our cutting-edge automation and digitalization solutions. This hands-on experience offers valuable insights into how our technologies can enhance efficiency and innovation in biotech operations, making it an unmissable event for professionals eager to stay at the forefront of industry advancements.
In addition, we will spotlight the transformative role of digital technologies, advanced modeling, data analytics, automation, as well as analytical devices and Process Analytical Technology (PAT) solutions in modern upstream bioprocessing. Together, these tools are redefining how we approach process development, monitoring, and control.
Through a series of expert presentations, hands-on workshop interactive discussions, and networking opportunities, participants will gain valuable insights into how these cutting-edge approaches are advancing biomanufacturing and paving the way for more agile, data-driven production systems. Whether you're deeply involved in bioprocessing or looking to stay ahead of the curve, this seminar offers the perfect setting to learn, connect, and innovate.
