Biomass as a sustainable material and energy carrier, and biobased technologies and knowledge are key resources for the wellbeing of our society and economy. The heavy debates about the use and sustainability in recent times demonstrate the need for further and in-depth research and developments.

Researchers, industries, policy makers and the civil society need to come together to share knowledge and discuss research gaps and challenges. Science institutions are intensively involved in bioenergy and biotechnology research already, thus they can drive this process.

The Doctoral Colloquium BIOENERGY AND BIOBASED PRODUCTS serves as a platform for young scientists and doctoral students to learn and share knowledge and experiences, to provide opportunities for networking and scientific exchange and to get insights into doctoral qualifications and careers. Doctoral students present their latest results and advancements in an exciting topic and can gain experiences is public presentations.

The Doctoral Colloquium BIOENERGY AND BIOBASED PRODUCTS offers you as a young student pursuing your PhD in this field an opportunity to present your work and enter into a professional discussion and exchange. You are welcome at all stages of your dissertation / work. You have the chance to present your scientific approach, methods and results in form of an oral presentation or a poster. As a knowledge and decision-maker of tomorrow you can share knowledge, discuss research gaps and meet colleagues and experienced supervisors.

The event language is English. Each Session will include four presentation slots, spit into 15 minutes for the presentation and 10 minutes of discussion time each. In addition to the Poster Exhibition, all accepted posters shall be presented during a Poster Speed Presentation (3 minutes each).
