DESCRIPTION
ECO-BIO 2018 will bring together representatives from both academia and industry to highlight progress and recent developments and the necessary steps to make the biobased economy a reality.
Taking place over two and a half days, ECO-BIO 2018 will comprise plenary talks and forum discussions, parallel sessions, posters and an exhibition together with optional company visits.
Topics:
Track 1: Scientific Discovery
- new feedstocks (algae, specialty crops, etc.)
- industrial microbiology
- synthetic biology
- nanobioscience
- metagenomics and mining,
- computational engineering
- bioactive compounds from nature
Track 2: (Industrial) Technological Development
- pretreatment
- renewable products (high performance materials, specialty chemicals, building blocks, food, feed & nutritional ingredients, health, personal & home care, etc)
- bioenergy
- consolidated
- bioprocessing/integration and
- intensification of bioprocesses
- use of residual streams (MSW, CO/CO2, ….)
Track 3: Impact assessment of biobased solutions
- ecological aspects (soil, water, human, climate)
- soil and crop management, nutrient cycles
- social, environmental and economic impacts
- biomass supply
- policy and public perception
Track 4: Innovation and valorisation
- biorefinery concepts
- new value chains/clusters
- start-ups/SMEs
- green tech capital/investors
