Discover the content of the session: The Concarneau meeting “Where industry meets science in marine biotechnology"

The international symposium « Les Rendez-Vous de Concarneau » takes place every two years at the Concarneau Marine Station. It is intended to be part of a continuum between the fundamental research developped within the laboratories concerned and the applications of this research in marine biotechnologies. The symposium brings together a group of experts from the world of fundamental and applied research and industrials with a link to the maritime field with multidisciplinary and complementary skills in biology (molecular biology, microbiology), embryology, ecology, ecophysiology, plant science and aquaculture.

For this 2022 edition, the main theme is Bio-inspiration. We will focused on biomimetics on maritime transport during the session on Thursday 29 September as part of the Sea Tech Week at Brest: « Les Rendez-Vous de Concarneau invite themselves to Brest ». The 12th edition of the « Rendez-Vous de Concarneau » will be held on Friday 30 September at the Marine Biological Station of Concarneau. The meeting at Concarneau will be focused on biomaterials and bioadhesives with a visit to a structure with a bioinspiration project in Concarneau.
