The symposium on Computer Applications in Biotechnology is organized every three years and aims at stimulating contacts between specialists active in academic research and industrial development in all major areas in biotechnology, where computers are used to support bioprocess design, supervision, diagnosis, operation, optimization and control.

In 2010, the CAB symposium will be organized in coordination with the DYCOPS 2010 (Dynamics and Control Process System) IFAC symposium, that will be held also in Leuven, on July 5-7, in the same facilities.
