After the seminar, NoviCo project partners held a meeting and discussed the progress and next steps of the project.

Seminar “Bioenergy Technologies and Biotechnologies”

On October 17 our annual Seminar „Bioenergy Technologies and Biotechnologies” was held as part of RTU 64. International Scientific Conference.

This year our focus was on biomass resources, bioenergy and resource extraction from sewage sludge. Presentations, discussions and future perspectives for each idea and topic were held. This year the seminar also included a poster session, where students from our study programme presented their projects and gained valuable feedback from experienced researchers.

The Book of Abstracts from this seminar is available here.
