The aim of the BTechPro2024 conference (to be held in Riga, Latvia on April 24-26) is to promote the professional development of early career researchers and to establish contacts between research groups working on biomass processing challenges. The conference will not only be a platform for the participants to present their scientific work, give and get feedback from peers, listen to interesting plenary lectures, and submit a full-length article, but also a possibility to actively take part in workshops and participate in match-making activities.
All research related to different aspects of valorisation and characterisation of biomass are welcome, but the main topics of the conference will be:
- Biomass feedstock pre-treatment
- Biomass processing and extraction
- Wood- and other biomass-based materials
- Bioengineering technologies
- Synthesis of bio-based chemicals and polymers
- Characterisation of biorefinery products
- Bioeconomy and environmental aspects
