Biosensor 2001 - a Retrospect and Foresight

Abstract

This editorial gives a short retrospect of the BioSensor Symposium 2001 from the point of view of the organizing committee. The symposium was held from 1st to 3rd of April 2001 at the University of Tübingen. The conference is the only German-speaking forum of its kind and provides a unique setting for new research, trends, and perspectives to be shared with peers from both industrial and educational institutions. The new approach of publishing the conference proceedings electronically by the Universitätsbibliothek Tübingen is explained in detail and the possibilities resulting are discussed.
