This conference is the prime forum for renewable resources, industrial biotechnology and biorefineries in Europe. The conference aims at bringing together academic researchers, industrial experts, policymakers and venture capital providers to discuss the challenges emerging from the transition towards a bio-based economy and to present new developments in this area. Based on the previous RRB conferences, this conference is expected to attract about 300 international participants from more than 30 countries.
Delegates from university, industry, governmental and non-governmental organizations and venture capital providers will present their views on industrial biotechnology, sustainable (green) chemistry and agricultural policy related to the use of renewable raw materials for non-food applications and energy supply.
The overall theme of this Leuven edition is "Innovating Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow", reflecting the conference's focus on forward-looking solutions that combine innovation with long-term sustainability. The conference aims at providing an overview of the scientific, technical, economic, environmental and social issues of renewable resources and biorefineries in order to give an impetus to the biobased economy and to present new developments in this area.
The conference will provide a forum for leading political, corporate, academic and financial people to discuss recent developments and set up collaborations.
This three day international conference will consist of plenary lectures, oral presentations, poster sessions and an exhibition. Companies and research organizations are offered the opportunity to organize a satellite symposium.
