Although the Biotech/Life Sciences Portal Baden-Württemberg is taking a Christmas break, many of the Internet editorial staff elves and pixies will continue working behind the scenes to get the revised, new style website ready for launch on 12th January.

We will continue to publish exciting articles focusing on biotechnology and life sciences issues, which will be even more clearly structured, more theme-focused and more up-to-date than before. Baden-Württemberg’s excellent research and its dynamic company landscape will be in the foreground. We will also keep you informed about events, calls, funding options, legal conditions, ethical issues, research awards and company distinctions, start-up-specific topics, studies and education – and we will continue to rely on the unflagging support and cooperation of Baden-Württemberg’s five BioRegions: Rhein-Neckar-Dreieck, STERN Bioregion, BioRegionUlm, Freiburg BioRegion and BioLAGO.

We hope you will like the revamped website and would be delighted to welcome you to our new Biotech/Life Sciences Portal Baden-Württemberg at www.bio-pro.de - a reliable, up-to-date and comprehensive source of information.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Dr. Barbara Jonischkeit
Chief Editor
