Workshop Programme - European Workshop: Biobased Materials

The scientific programme is currently under development and will be announced soon.

The workshop programme is designed to provide participants with a practical, hands-on experience focused on the development and application of biobased materials. Through a combination of expert lectures, interactive sessions and laboratory-based activities, participants will gain insights into current approaches, technologies, and challenges shaping the future of sustainable materials.

Throughout the workshop, participants will explore key topics including:

  • Biopolymers and bioplastics
  • Biotechnology approaches for sustainable material production
  • Bioprocess development and optimisation
  • Processing, functionalisation, and applications of biobased materials
  • Biodegradation and end-of-life strategies
  • Sustainability assessment and life cycle approaches
  • Circular bioeconomy concepts and industrial implementation
  • Emerging technologies and innovative applications of biobased materials

The programme will emphasise practical skills, knowledge transfer, and direct interaction with experts, allowing participants to apply concepts through hands-on laboratory activities and explore innovative solutions for the sustainable production and use of next-generation biobased materials.
