BioSC International Summer School 2016

From plant to product - Value chains in a sustainable bioeconomy

Using the example of Costa Rica and Germany in collaboration with University of Costa Rica (UCR) and National University of Costa Rica (UNA)

24. October - 28. October 2016

Interdisciplinary and international cooperation are needed to find solutions to the major challenges of the 21st century, such as food security, sustainable resource usage or climate change. Therefore, this summer school aims to interdisciplinary train talented young researchers, to raise their awareness for innovative approaches and to create synergies between Germany and Costa Rica for the establishment of a knowledge-based bioeconomy.
For the transformation from an oil-based to a bio-based industry, the conservation of nature and minimal waste of natural resources along global value chains is a fundamental requirement. Therefore, the summer school will focus on the various topics along the entire value chain.
