Comments from participants on last year's Workshop:   "The organisation of the workshop was excellent. The way of setting the problems and discussing them was more than excellent"    "The sessions were clear and broadened my knowledge in issues such as over expressing and purification of proteins. The best thing: It translated information from academia to industry. Thank you very much for this huge effort" "It was a really proper workshop, with a lot of interactions and learning. Excellent!" "I really enjoyed the workshop as it gave me a great insight into what jobs there are in industry and how biopharma operates"
