7 DAYS UNTIL THE 24TH EUBCE
The EUBCE Conference is fast approaching! In one week the best and the brightest international biomass experts and decision makers from industry and research will gather in Amsterdam to present and discuss the latest innovations in the biomass and bioenergy fields.
The Conference Committees and the Organisers Team are finalising the last steps to make the EUBCE the best biomass event of the year! We've got over 700 presenters from a wide range of international institutions and organisations, parallel events and workshops to further enlarge your transfer of knowledge and expertise and networking events to make your participation even more successful.
"Let's learn from successes and progress, reported at the conference, let's push innovation, let's collaborate between sectors and stakeholders, let's push for the required policy frameworks, let's focus on solving problems and accelerating implementation. And do the research to make that possible" Prof. André P.C. Faaij, Conference General Chairman, Academic director of Energy Academy Europe, Distinguished professor of energy system analysis at Groningen University.
