Spring Workshop - Soothing
Waste to Wealth: Sustainable Biomass Conversion towards Chemicals and Materials
Date: May 23th, 2024 | Time: 09:00 AM to 06:30 PM (UTC+1) | Location: Riad Science 2, Conference Room, Lot 660, Hay Moulay Rachid, Benguerir, 43150, Morocco
Workshop Overview:
Soothing is the spring workshop of the Seasonal Workshop Series organized by the Sustainable Materials Research Center (SusMat-RC). The theme of this one-day international workshop is focused on the sustainable conversion of biomass towards chemicals and materials, covering the latest advances in pioneering technologies applied to biomass conversion for fine chemicals, bioproducts, and biomaterials.
This workshop offers an opportunity to connect with authoritative experts and leaders through insightful presentations and discussions, providing a comprehensive understanding of the driving needs, challenges, and opportunities in sustainable biomass upgrading and conversion.
We invite master’s and Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, scientists, researchers, and professionals in Chemistry, Materials Science, and Engineering to participate in this engaging “Spring Workshop.” The Workshop will span one day and will be held in a hybrid mode (Remote or In-Person). To enhance networking and foster scientific communities, a limited number of selected abstracts from students will be presented in the form of e-posters. All Ph.D. students are encouraged to submit their abstracts by the 10th of May.
Attendance and participation in the workshop are free of charge; however, to reserve your spot, please register at the link provided below.
