The Week of Microbial Technologies –MicroTechWeek– was a five-day summit full of project meetings and open public events held in Ljubljana (Slovenia). It was jointly organised by the European funded projects SURFBIO and GREENER. An industrial workshop, poster session and hands-on training were held with the aim of gaining knowledge on the applications of surface and colloid biology from different corporate sectors. The ultimate goal of this event was networking between EU projects and stakeholders, sharing applications of surface and colloid biology and planning new initiatives based on microbiology technologies. This book gathers the contents generated in the industrial workshop and in the poster session (SURFBIO organisation). Professionals from international companies and organisations contributed knowledge from different perspectives, creating very fruitful inputs for the project partners and for the whole science community. SURFBIO Project has received funding under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research & innovation programme under grant agreement Nº 952379.
