On request of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Research and Technology of North Rhine-Westphalia, Senter Novem and Zenit GmbH organised the Green Biotechnology congress on November 17. This congress will focus on Green Biotechnology as it is incorporated in the 7th EU Framework Programme (2007-2013) for Life Sciences and will highlight joint aspects and initiatives in the Traingle Maastricht, Liège and Aachen.

Among the speakers will be Life Sciences Limburg Chair, Dr. Fred Bollen whose presentation was titled: "Cooperation in Life Sciences in the Cross Border Triangle Region - Aachen, Lüttich and Maastricht"

In this presentation he gave some striking examples showing the increasing cooperation between Life Sciences Limburg, LifeTec Aachen-Jülich and Bioliège in the regions of Maastricht, Aachen and Liège:
