On April 1, the 11th BioSC Forum took place in the Central Library of Forschungszentrum Jülich. After a warm welcome by Heike Slusarczyk, Ulrich Schurr gave an overview of the last 15 years of the BioSC as a bioeconomy research hub in NRW. BioSC members presented long-term developments in the fields of bioplastics, fibers, functional molecules and process technologies, including third-party funded follow-up projects and start-up spin-offs. The relevance of bioeconomy research for societal challenges such as climate change was discussed in breakout sessions and a subsequent panel discussion. In the afternoon, new results from ongoing BioSC projects on a wide range of topics were presented.
The forum ended after fruitful and interesting discussions at the posters from all current BioSC projects. Thank you to all speakers and participants for a day full of networking.
