About ESAB

Promoting Applied Biocatalysis

Our Mission

ESAB is a scientific society founded in 1980 to promote the development of Applied Biocatalysis. Applied Biocatalysis is the interdisciplinary field of life and engineering sciences that aims to develop useful biological catalysts and their implementation in industrial, medical, environmental and food applications to the benefit of humans and their environment.

Our Aims

  • To take initiatives in areas of growing scientific and industrial interest and importance in the field of applied biocatalysis.
  • To identify key topics which may be rate-limiting in the development of scientific progress and technological prospects in applied biocatalysis and to take steps to stimulate these areas.
