8. Internationales BioSC Symposium"Bioeconomy and sustainability"

mit dem Christian Patermann Award für Benedikt Wynands

27.-28. Januar 2025 | LVR Landesmuseum Bonn | Colmantstr. 14-16, 53115 Bonn

Beim 8. Internationalen BioSC Symposium ging es darum, wie biobasierte Lösungen zur Erreichung der Nachhaltigkeitsziele der Vereinten Nationen (SDGs) beitragen können. Knapp 200 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer aus Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik verbrachten zwei spannende Tage bei Vorträgen, Podiumsdiskussionen und Postersessions. Thorsten Menne, Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, eröffnete das Symposium und überreichte in Anwesenheit des Namensgebers den Christian Patermann Award 2024 des BioSC an Benedikt Wynands, Forschungszentrum Jülich, für seine herausragende interdisziplinäre Betreuung von Promotionen zur Bioökonomie. Fabian Kolodzy, RWTH Aachen/DWI, sowie Berith Rothkranz and Lars Halle, beide Forschungszentrum Jülich, wurden mit dem BioSC Posterpreis ausgezeichnet. Der erstmalig verliehene PRACC Posterpreis für klimarelevante Bioökonomieforschung ging an Marcel Mann und Paul Cordero, beide RWTH Aachen. Das nächste BioSC Symposium findet am 24./25. November 2025 in Bonn statt.
