Die Landwirtschaft befindet sich in einem grundlegenden, unauf-haltsam voranschreitenden Anpassungsprozess. Wir stehen vor der Herausforderung, die Branche in bewegten Zeiten krisensicher und nachhaltig aufzustellen. Die Ausrichtung der europäischen Agrarpolitik, die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels, die Zukunft der Nutztierhaltung – über diese Themen möchten wir mit Ihnen sprechen. Machen wir uns gemeinsam auf die Suche nach neuen Ideen für den Landbau und die Tierhaltung von morgen!

At the European Forum for Industrial Biotechnology & the Bioeconomy (EFIB), delegates are provided with an update on the status and outlook of biobased industries. EFIB is proud to foster engagement between policy makers, a broad range of stakeholders connected with the existing biobased value chain and seeks to reach out to, and include, new interlocutors.

Ziel dieses Treffens ist es, junge promovierende Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus verschiedenen Wissenschaftsbereichen und Standorten in NRW zusammenzubringen und ihnen einen Rahmen für die Vernetzung und Diskussion über zukünftige Karrierewege in der Bioökonomie zu bieten.

If you are interested in participation, please complete the application form before May 14, 2020.

The specific objectives of the seminar are:

1. Raise awareness on the importance of soil health, and various EU initiatives undertaken to maintain and improve it.
2. Promote and build upon the results and outcomes of past EIP-AGRI networking activities such as Focus Groups on soil-related issues and relevant workshops.
3. Share experiences and good practices to maintain soil health, identified by relevant projects, research activities and farmers.
4. Identify synergies between different types of projects working on soil health and encourage further cooperation among participants through networking.
5. Discuss challenges and solutions for soil health, identify what is needed to make these solutions operational for farmers, foresters and other land managers, and widely used/adopted.
6. Identify research needs and non-research actions to contribute to the agenda of Horizon Europe’s mission area Soil health and food.

Das Treibhausgas CO2 ist der Hauptverursacher des anthropogenen Klimawandels. Können Maßnahmen, wie die CO2-Bepreisung oder Speichermethoden wie CCS (Carbon Capture Storage), aus der Klimakrise führen? In unserer Vortragsveranstaltung beleuchten wir verschiedene Lösungsansätze aus Wissenschaft, Politik und Wirtschaft und geben anschließend Raum für eine Diskussion.

Die Veranstaltung bildet den Auftakt zur digitalen Veranstaltungsreihe „Kommunikation und Partizipation in der Bioökonomie“ des Projektes BioDisKo.

The International Conference “Digital Technologies for Sustainable Crop Production” (DIGICROP) will take place on November 10, 2020 for the first time and in a remote fashion. The scientific event addresses an interdisciplinary audience working at the intersection of engineering, robotics, computer science, crop sciences, agricultural sciences, phenotyping, and economics.b

Das 5. Internationale BioSC Symposium, das ursprünglich für den 16. und 17.11.2020 geplant war, wird verschoben.

This conference aims to open the current circular economy debates more towards critical engagement with the socio-political realities that circular economy efforts face and the multi-faceted effects of implementation. Ultimately, the conference seeks to provide policy and practice with the critical insights needed to achieve socio-ecologically sustainable outcomes.

The MECP-conference series brings together biologists, chemists and engineers from academia and industry to share their knowledge and break new ground in the field of multi-step enzyme catalysis. MECP2020 in Aachen will highlight recently identified novel catalysts and catalytic combinations to synthesize chemical products. Enzymes are the focus, but recent developments also include chemical catalysts or microbial cell factories combined in hybrid processes. Further, MECP2020 will provide a platform to discuss enzyme and process engineering innovations, including continuous reaction modes, systems biology, cascade regulation, and downstream processing. Eminent experts from each topic field are invited in order to initiate creative discussions, interdisciplinary thinking and launch new connections and networks.
