Info about event

Location

Aarhus University, Foulum, DK-8830 Tjele

FACCE SURPLUS, Aarhus University and partners invite European stakeholders from research and industry to attend the International Biorefining Seminar & Partnering Workshop which will be held in Denmark on September 14 and 15.

The event will mark the launch of FACCE SURPLUS and the research projects selected within the frame of this €14 Million H2020-supported ERA-Net. You are thereby also given a unique chance to provide valuable insights and feedback to the projects as they will each be presented shortly, addressing the potential expectations of stakeholders.

Furthermore, participants are invited to take part in specific workshops with the aim of creating project groups/consortia for project applications in 2017 and forward under FACCE SURPLUS, Horizon 2020 or the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI). Thus, the event is structured to provide an opportunity for those interested in working within specific fields of biorefining and food production to meet others who can complement their own skills and make excellent consortium members.

You will also get the chance to visit one of Europe's most advanced research platforms in the field of biobased production and biorefinery, located at Aarhus University.

The event is free of charge and registration is done via following this link where you can also find more information.
