Chair: Dr Jan Traas
Jan Traas is group leader and research director at the National
Institute of Agricultural Research (INRA). He has been working in the
field of Plant Systems Biology for the last 15 years. He has organised
several small national and international workshops on this topic in
France and has been on the scientific board of several large meetings
(e.g. the Arabidopsis meeting in Paris in 2015).
David Suter, March 17, 2016, 4:13 p.m. : «I am very enthusiastic about
having a major systems biology conference in Lyon, which is a fantastic
place - both scientifically and non-scientifically.»
Thomas Höfer, March 17, 2016, 1:48 p.m. : «Both the city and the
lively bioscience scene in Lyon are excellent choices for hosting this
major meeting.»
Christian Landry, March 16, 2016, 2:05 p.m. : «Lyon is a great city for
meetings. It is easy to get to, a beautiful venue such that people will

with excellent food and wine and a good public transport system. It's
a good conference venue.»

ICSB 2019: outline schedule
The facilities:
Certification:
• Environmentally aware, the GL events group is engaged in a
group-wide sustainable development initiative through the
program Think Green and launched, some years ago, an ISO
14 001 certification process for all its venues in France. The
Lyon Convention Centre obtains the certification in 2013.
Concrete results:
• 25% of energy saving by year thanks to the bioclimatic
control system of the building fronts.
• 70% of the heating and cooling use renewable and clean
energy, thanks to the groundwater located under the
building.
• 46% of waste are recycled.
