Presenters:

The Biotechnology Institute invites you to share your high quality educational practices and programs with educators and industry at our annual Conference on Biotechnology Education, which is held in conjunction with the Biotechnology Industry Organization’s International Convention.

The Institute would like to recognize and identify the dedicated educators who have developed exemplary science, math and technology programs related to biotechnology and to highlight and develop a body of outstanding teaching practices and programs available to all educators of biotechnology. K-16 biotechnology educators from academia, nonprofit, and industry with exemplary programs are invited to submit proposals.  All biotechnology educators and those interested in biotechnology education are encouraged to attend the Best Practices Day.
