From metabolic flux analysis to biological process control: a digest with worked examples and real-life applications

About

The course is organized in 4 sessions of 6 hours each (July 1-2, and July 8-9, 2019), back to back with the 9th IWA Specialized Conference on Sustainable Viticulture, Winery Wastes & Agri-industrial Wastewater Management, which is an international workshop focusing on the recent advances in topics such as winery and brewery wastewater characterization, waste and wastewater management, aerobic and anaerobic treatment processes, sustainable viticulture and oenology (reducing waste), solid waste treatment and by product recovery, environmental assessment, fermentation technology, smart and sustainable farming. The conference features plenary lectures and contributed presentations by specialists in the fields. The conference also includes technical visits to a winery and a distillery.
