South Bank Polytechnic,London.

The aim of BIOBALT-92 is to provide close scientific and business
contacts between the biotechnology specialists from the Baltic
States and other European countries. BIOBALT-92 should promote the
integraton of Baltics into the European community and market economy.
High-technology based programmes are vital for research and development
of economy in the Baltic States.The Biobalt'92 should help  to prepare
and conclude contacts for marketing bioproducts both in the Baltics and
in other European countries.  The Baltic side is willing to take part in
R&D projects on contract basis and launch new production units here.

Scientific programme will  cover the following topics:
