The 5th BACSA international conference “Sericulture for multi products – new prospects for development” – SERIPRODEV will be held in Bucharest, Romania from 11 to 15 April 2011. The Institute for Bioengineering, Biotechnology and Environmental Protection – S.C.BIOING SA, Bucharest – Romania is hosting the meeting in collaboration with the Black, Caspian Seas and Central Asia Silk Association (BACSA).

Besides the traditional use of silk in the textile industry there is a recently increasing importance of using the silkworms and mulberries for medicals, pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, biotechnology, biomaterials etc. Therefore the multi products sericulture development has a great future as a way for both stabilizing economically and preserving this industry.
