Events of the DBFZ
The DBFZ regularly organises events on topics relating to bioenergy, biomass utilisation and sustainable resource use. These mainly take place at its own event centre in Leipzig - both independently and in cooperation with partners from research, industry and politics.
The programme includes workshops, expert discussions and conferences that serve to promote professional exchange. The DBFZ is also represented at trade fairs and conferences with presentations and exhibition stands. These are organised by an experienced events team.
The DBFZ event newsletter provides up-to-date information on upcoming events.
