Towards a Sustainable Bioeconomy – Resources, Utilization, Engineering and AgroEcosystems: Fall meeting Topic 7

Welcome to our first on-site fall meeting “Towards a sustainable Bioeconomy”, on 17. and 18. November 2022 in Leipzig.

The goals of our Fall Meeting are

• to present and discuss inspiring science from the three subtopics of Topic 7,
• to get to know the research and the colleagues of the different participating centers
• to stimulate Topic 7 internal exchange on research and products from Program-oriented Funding (PoF), and
• to develop collaborations within the Topic 7.

The program

To achieve the goals, entertaining and inspiring presentations, discussions and poster sessions are being prepared with a focus on scientific discussions and exchange.

Who is invited?

We cordially invite all scientists and PhD students working within Topic 7 to the onsite event in the KUBUS Leipzig.

Registration

Registration will be open until November, 2 on this website.
Please register as soon as possible.

You will find a list of hotels for your travel planning attached.
