We are pleased to announce three very interesting plenary talks by Frank van Noord, director R&D SuikerUnie, Marcel Wubbolts, Chief Technology Officer Corbion and Leila lo Leggio, associate professor University of Copenhagen.

At the end of this annual meeting prof. Rudy Rabbinge will step down as chairman of the CCC Supervisory Board. In this position he has contributed very strongly to the overall success of CCC.
