The XVIII Congress of the Spanish Society of Biotechnology, BIOTEC 2023 will be held in Madrid, at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Complutense University of Madrid, from July 17 until July 20, 2023. It is a pleasure to be able to celebrate this new edition of BIOTEC in-person after these last years marked by COVID isolation.

SEBiot has organized National Biotechnology Congresses (BIOTEC) since 1986. These meetings provide an excellent opportunity for researchers and professionals to establish contacts and agree on collaboration with colleagues in the field of biotechnology, as well as with other agents involved in this field of research. All of the parties concerned, from private companies to public administrations and other organizations at a national level, benefit from these meetings. The scientific program of the congress allows leading specialists to provide updates on a broad spectrum of topics of interest and also makes it possible for young researchers to present their work to the scientific community
