A SYMPOSIUM ON THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN CARBON TECH

When:Tu 25-04-2023
Where:Energy Academy Building, Zernike Campus, Groningen

The Symposium will be held under the umbrella of the National Growthfund initiative FutureCarbonNL and will bring together established and emerging researchers from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances in biological and chemical CO2 utilisation and to speculate on future directions for the field. The one-day symposium will cover various cutting-edge topics in the field, focusing on emerging technologies for the biological and chemical utilization of CO2/CO. In addition to a series of presentations by invited experts in the field, the programme will include a speed-dating session and a panel discussion to allow ample time for interaction between participants.

 Please find details in the announcement attached or online.

 We invite you to share this announcement among your colleagues and invite you to participate in the event!
